Engine Rumbling/Knocking, HELP Please :)

SO i just bought a 97 gtp sc, it's got some issues that i figured a car it's age would have, passenger window wont go up... when i listen to the engine with my window down i hear a rumbling, like i can hear the pistons. Seems louder than i think it should sound, but i have no idea how it should sound. Guy at Jiffy lube told me it could be the exhaust manifold. I need some idea of what it could be.
 


Any SES lights? Pull the spark plugs to see if any of them are damaged...might have a chipped piston but not likely...or try to get a video of it?
 
What are SES Lights? I guess i could take a video, the engine seems to operate ok. nothing really lacking power, just noisy. like i can almost hear the pumping.
 
No, there isn't service engine soon lights on. Jiffylube guy told me it sounded like an exhaust issue, but it sounds close to the motor, cuz i can hear the pistons pumping, idk. would take the exhaust off be very difficult?
 


i dont have a camera. I also dont have the supercharger belt on. I have no idea how to get it on. i tried to put it on one day. found the piece that moves, but still doesn't want to fit. I think the guy at autozone gave me the wrong belt.
