Basic 944 turbo rule #1 –
Never start your car and rev it up if the back of your car is facing a white garage door….
Brand new exhausts will do this a lot worse – the engines do run on the rich side and all the carbon will collect in the exhaust – if its nice new stainless it does not stick to the interior of the exhaust well – and when all the condensation forms as it cools it will create a nice black sooty snot laden ‘sneeze’ when you start it up!

Tried the new map today with the software changes and it definitely made a difference. Throttle response from idle improved greatly and the exhaust was nowhere near as potent as it was. Altho I have a ticking sound coming from somewhere so I think I have an exhaust leak. Time to jack the car up and check things out...

I hope it is, but the car can get up to operating temp and it's still there. I'm not too familiar with diagnosing exhaust leaks, but I do know that they sound like a ticking. I've run the car about 5 times. I can't honestly remember, but I'm pretty sure that it hasn't been there every time, otherwise I would have noticed. We'll see. I'm going to jack the car up and just take a look at all the connections.

Don’t get caught up in the little noises yet – the car hasn’t; been driven 6 inches yet!
The engine, exhaust and other parts have not seen any load or any real heat…..yet.
