Yeah probably hanger hardware, or minor interference with the catback and body etc.. Open the hatch and have buddy push down on trunk area with you ground level, see if you can identify the source. My guess would be interference with exhaust pipe that goes over the axle. I have had issues there in the past...

ok, taking it back as soon as i get back in town, which wont be for another 2 months. Funny thing is i had exact same noise before i put the slp powerflo on and the sound went away but picked up a slight rattle going over bumps and on the freeway etc. Now that rattle is almost completely gone, but its picked up that annoying chrip. I can be parked standing on the outside of the car, and you can hear it chrip loud as hell. ******* annoying, i hope its not the exhaust guys fault why this is happening. gonna change the hanger next time im around, and ill let ya know how it works out.
