Blowing exhaust?

[guerini]

Hi Guys,
New member from Uk. I have found this site really useful and informative.
I have recently bought a 987 2.7 Boxster and am loving it. Only problem I have us that I am convinced that the exhaust is blowing. At tickover and with a slight blip of the throttle I get what I can only describe as a chuffing/blowing noise. At high revs then it sings as a Porsche should!
Local OPC has looked at the car and says "some do sound like that" They even replaced the manifold gaskets.

Maybe it's just me but I would really appreciate your thoughts. And thanks for all the really good stuff on this site.

Relax, they all sound like that, you hear it at start up and just before it returns to idle. Enjoy you car. they are great

Thanks Harry. Guess I will have to get used to it then. Seems to happen up to about 2000rpm after which it sounds ok. Anyway, thanks for your help Harry.
