OK thanks,

 

'07 GT manual on 26K miles, the noise is there on start up every time and goes after a few miles. Would have to check but im sure it doesnt do it once warm. No other issues with it

Neil,

 

If this is temperature related then I may be looking at the exhaust components as an exhaust blow or perhaps an exhaust manifold gasket blow can give off a machine gun like effect, however this usuually gets louder when the temperature increases.

Another thing to check is that you do not have a loose spark plug.
