Can you help me understand the percussive clap slap that seems to be interspersed amongst the already huff and stuff exhaust note?
There’s something extra fucky up there and I don’t know what,

Please help.

Maybe it's that loose muffler tapping on something.

It would be better to take video from the engine bay with the cover off. Hard to hear anything over the exhaust noise.
