"Growling" under moderate to hard acceleration

I have a 2000 9-5 Aero that has been growling when I accelerate with any kind up umph. The problem has been happening for a while, but it was only on really hard, off the line stuff. Now, it will do it any time I accelerate moderately hard. It sounds like it coming from the right side of the car. I posted a few videos on youtube recording the sound of the growling.
The first is accelerating from 1st. The car was eased into first and cluth is fully depressed. Then I pressed the accelerator about 75%. You can really hear the growling starting about 20 seconds in.

The second video is with the car rolling at about 15-20mph and in second. here you can hear the growling but it is a little more gurgly.

Does it sound like an exhaust problem or maybe turbo?

Thanks
