M4 clicking noise??

Hey guys When I was coming back from mpact we where doing pulls and later on I started to hear a clicking noise in side my car sounds like it's coming from the rear but in the car sounds like it coming from the drive shaft no this clicking noise happens when ever the car is taking a load I do have kW suspension that's been on the car for over 1000 miles and put it on the lift to double check the suspension and everything seemed fine but this noise is driving me insane and is defiantly not normal. Does anyone else have this issue, some ppl say it could possibly be the e-brake cable ? And before ppl start saying it lol no it's not the rock stuck in the heat shield. I have a video of the noise but can seem to post it.

Your car sounds dirty. It's the parking brake cables contacting the driveshaft. There is an sib for this. Take it to the dealer.

didnt see your post. Did they leave something loose which caused the exhaust to contact the brace?
