Tinney sound and poss' exhaust manifold leaking..?

Just had the MOT done on the car... Lower wishbones and Brakes All round.... (sharp intake of breath..!) - Simple job though.
Another thing - My mechanic pointed out that the tinney sound on startup and initial running was probably down to a leaking manifold... The sound goes away after a time when the engine has warmed up... Is this common...? Passed the MOT as he gave it a good run before submission 
Cossie Estate 1995, 70k - a few more miles than the clock says - I beleive 
I haven't had a look underneath yet.. Any ideas..?
Cheers
Dave

could be cat or cats rattling..should be obvious if you check under car when engine running ...be carefull best on lift ..local exhaust people should check for free.

I recently changed my nearside manifold. That had a lovely crack in it.
Sounded ruff as yer like when cold, but the crack sealed up a bit when it warmed up.
Crack 1
Crack 2
Crack 3

The manifold came away from the block reasonably easy, but I had a problem detaching it from the first bit of the exhaust (CAT).
Got there eventually, but if you're not a keen enough DIY mechanic, I'd get it booked into a garage.
The new 2nd hand manifold was only 15quid and came from Dave (HowieDintheplace). Should be plenty of spares about on some breakers.
