downpipe, catalyic converter reacting to heat disapation, as it cools. ie metal contrats when getitng cooler, so its the metal settling back into form.

I always thought it was oil dripping back into the higher part of the oil pan. Drips from the crankcase and lands on the oil pan, thus making a 'dink' sound.. haha. Never actually thought about the metal contracting.
