Default Engine Noise

I have been searching the forums but can't find anything related to my problem.

Recently, when I start up my TT if it has been sitting for a few hours I get this loud and abnoxious ringing noise that sounds like its coming from my engine. It lasts for like 5 minutes and then shuts off.

Anyone know about this?

I think it is just the raspy stock exhuast when cold starting the car.

Mine isnt broken, just noisy until the car wramps up/rpms drop to ~900. If y0ou dont like it, turn off your climate control (pull the **** to off) before you turn car off and then dont push it in until car is warmed up. I guess yo ucould/should check to see if you are throwing any codes.

Its the SAI, it is normal and will be that way until the car is warmed up.
