Default Creaking from Down Under

Not sure if anyone has run into this before, but it seems to be happening more and quite a bit louder.

When i start speeding up or letting off the gas i hear a light creaking/ticking/tapping sound. I tried jumping up and down and playing around with the exhaust some to see if it was maybe the suspension or the exhaust (installed GT500s and had the resonators removed), but i cant replicate it. I almost feel like it is when the torque load changes on the drive shaft that does it.

Only other thing i have seen on many forums that the control arms get noisy in the heat on these things... maybe i am not fat enough and can't deflect them enough to cause the noise when i jump up an down?

Forgot i posted this here...

I wonder if it is worth complaining about to the dealer to have them replaced per the TSB that also installs a heatshield back there.

Eh... I'll just wait until i lower it and put adjustable ones on.
