Hi folks,

In the first minute of startup or so, I have a semi-loud metallic sound that comes from the middle of the car. I hear it every time I start up cold. The noise does NOT come out of the back of the exhaust. I get out and go to the back of the car, and I can tell it doesn't come out of the exhaust. When I get out of the door and drop to the ground to listen, it sounds like it's coming from the underside of the engine area. It sounds like some cheap ricer exhaust note but I just can't for the life of me understand why it wouldn't be coming out of the tail pipe?

I should add that I now have a turbocharger, PTUNING headers, and have had some issues with my setup. Here's a thread where the other stuff is discussed, including the small possibility of an exhaust leak.

Thank you for any input you can provide folks!
