Well here it is. This was today. I am talking in it so you get an idea of the volume. My exhaust is the old style AWE. Today it was 85 degrees and I ahve drive the car for about 15 minutes before shooting this. I ASSUME this is the typical 996TT rattle everyone talks about.

Sounds OK to me (and similar to my car).

That was kind of my point for the OP and others. This is a rather loud rattle at idle, outside the car, yet is perfectly normal for a 996TT. Not all do it, but many do. $100k rattle can. LOL

Possibly loose header bolts or your wastegates dont yabe enough tension
saw the post on ticking. Check out your header bolts and also check to be sure wastegates have proper tension.
either can lead to a ticking sound at startup.
good luck!
