Sounds almost like an exhaust gasket leak.

Sorry to sound abit silly here but when you say gasket , do you mean the graphite ring where the two pipes joint or at the front where it meant the engine ?

Where it joins to the engine.

I will check this tomorrow and report back , as I'm going to recheck the valve clearance for my own piece of mind aswell as it just sounds very tappy but I'm certain it's all tight and the gasket was new.

When it's cold get someone to partly block the muffler end and you spray some soapy water..or 409..something on it and watch for bubbles. Do it fast though as it heats-up pretty quick. Look for splits or cracks too.
