Default Faint chatter noted on start-up. Milltek?.....

Just began to notice a faint chatter on start-up. Clearly related to engine speed initially, however, it seems to go away after a few minutes of cruising.

Sounds like a vibration of some sort. I'm thinking maybe one of my Milltek clamps might be slightly loose.

Anyone else have this kind of issue with their Milltek?

it's on start up and acceleration, but only lasts a minute or two until exhaust has a chance to heat up...then it's fine...let me know what you find out, i'll check too...it bugs me.

Default I'll bet the pipes are touching the crossover support (under the tranny)

Very simple adjustment.

Default Is your Milltek valved? My father has a valved exhaust on one of his cars and it...

chatters like crazy for the first minute or two of driving. I'm told that it's a fairly common thing with these valves.

Once it warms up it's "quiet" again.
