Does this sound normal? Seems to be getting noisier each time I start it Cold. Also having a few issues when driving with the feel of steering. This is all new and of course dealer says it's fine

I recently noticed the same noise after a cold start at idle. It goes away above idle. I don‘t hear it if it’s warmed up. 72,000 miles.
I figure it’s a small exhaust leak somewhere but I’m not worried about it.

I'm not sure what we're listening to/for? I hear exhaust and some shuffling with the camera.

SkyActive engines apparently vary the valve timing during cold starts to warm up the cat quickly. They do this because the cat is pretty far from the motor (by today’s standards) due to the long-tube headers. The colder it is the noisier they get. My 6 sounds like a diesel for the first minute or two after cold start in winter. Has been this way since day 1. No worries.

FYI, my brand new Kia Stinger does the same thing. Noisy on startup, then settles down after a few minutes.

I have three Mazdas w/ 2.5G. They don't generate this kind of muffler noises.
Of course, CA is not cold enough.
30F is about as low as it gets.

Could it be there is a leak in the exhaust system?
Bigger hole/gap when cold. Closed up when heated up...

I'm not sure how to look for that. Any advice is appreciated.

There's absolutely nothing to be looking for. My 2.5L has sounded exactly like this since new, for over 300,00KM.
