Default scratching noise

So i have this noise coming from the font of the car, passenger side, at first i thought it was a warped rotor or unevenly worn brake pad contacting and making an annoying scrapping sound, I've pulled the wheel and caliper off and everything is perfect, any ideas about this noise? its been doing it since I've had it, it happens only with the revolution of the wheel, i havnt really been able to replicate it when its not rolling. ideas?

and a side note what do ya'll think i should get off road x or H pipe? i have a magnaflow catback

Get a Bassani Catted X....comes with the straight pipes as well! jack the Cobra up and rotate the wheel to see if you can hear better where the noise if coming from!

pulled the pads out and on the back side the connector things seem to be very noisy when turned, tried some lubricant but it didn't help gonna try to shim it sometime this weekend to keep it from moving, went ahead and ordered a UPR O/R x pipe

Does it happen if you turn the wheel at at? Any kinda popping noise? If so it maybe steering rack bushings. Mine went bad with only 12k miles on the car.

nope completely independent of the steering and turning of the car, im pretty sure i've figured out the problem its on the back of the pads where the mount, the prongs have an excessive amount of movement, so im going to try shimming it soon, on the other hand my O/R x already shipped today and is scheduled to arrive on tuesday, pretty excited about it
