op said it goes away when it warms up, heat shield and muffler baffles increase with heat. Another posts indy said it is part of a boxster sound. I had a 04 turbo pull up in the lot next to me today ...same sound at idle,he did not know what it was when I asked him, Mine makes same sound intermittently at idle when hot. Couple years ago my indy said it was the muffler.? I replaced muffler and tightened heatshield for different sounds than the one on the op. So I know it is not heatshield because of the op recorded sound as well as he says it goes away with heat as well as I have LOTS of expierience with rattles in 4 years.sound persists after ims as well.How bout chain tensioners?
