Clicking noise

Hey guys I have a 2013 evo gsr and I noticed a few days ago a clicking noise coming from the car while driving with the windows down. Not sure exactly where it's coming from. The car doesn't click when it's idling only when I am driving. I do have a few bolt ons cbe,test pipe, intake and 3 port that's it. No suspension mods or anything. I will try to upload a video soon. I would appreciate any feedback! Thanks

Does it only happen at a bit of speed? I had this happen and it was driving me insane turned out to be a rock stuck in the tire tread clipping the ground.

Yeah exactly it only happens when I pick up some speed.

Heat shield "pinging" somewhere maybe...? There's enough of them under the car! I've removed some because all they do is vibrate and make noise

I was under the impression that heat shields also prevent heat from going places it isn't supposed to go, but I have a tendency to read too much into labels, so ignore me.

Specifically, the shield I had the issue with, is the one above where the stock exhaust is at the back of the car. Above that massive can. I have a single exit now, no need for that clunky piece!

Update: alright so I checked out the tires and there was no rock or nail stuck in it.. I do have a single exit exhaust so I don't have the heat shield? What else could it be?

Any idea what general area it's coming from? Check for ripped cv boots, loose lugnuts, any imperfections on the rotor tire or wheels will cause a clicking sound when at speed.
