Default car sounds like diesel when cold?

hi all, just wondering if anyone knows what this is,
Whenever i start my car up in the morning, the engine makes horrible loud noises under revs, like there are fans operating? thermos? also my exhaust makes basically no noise when using the gears to slow down, until it has completely warmed up? when i got a new service, the car didnt do it as much, but a week later it was doing it again consistently...
any help would be great
Thanks

Clutch fans are noisy, sounds like yours is not working too good.

Exhuast problem could be the CAT, do you have any other performance problems.

thanks mate, would the clutch fans only be too noisy for about 20 seconds? cuz if i drive it for 20 seconds, for that 20 seconds it is absolutely horrible to drive.. its got less go then a charade.. how much would it cost to fix these clutch fans?
other then this the car is generally pretty good around, its pretty quick, would the cat be sucking power?

If you want to replace the clutch fan. Why not do it Right (money permitting)

Get a hold of the batterns themofan kit and jump on ebay/ parts place and buy some EL electric fans?

Then you wont have to worry about the clutch fan. i did this on my EB when i had it
