Please say it isn't so, LOUD CLICKING from..
RESOLVED - UPDATE. Took it to my mechanic and we threw it on the lift, checked it out, and my gasket connecting to my muffler was hanging/ rusted off. -___- He cut off the rusty one, welded a new one it. So it was the broken pipe rattling..
I did notice my muffler sounds significantly quieter, any thoughts? possibly wrong gasket?

Yeah that is no axle click you have. More than likely exhaust where the midpipe meets the muffler or where it bolts up to the body. Put it up on a rack or jack stands to have a look underneath. Just make sure you are safe and the vehicle is secure before you get under to investigate.
Like I said earlier the issue was the connection from mid pipe to muffler. You had an exhaust leak. The job of the muffler is to quiet down the exhaust. Your exhaust was leaking prior to the muffler and that is why it was loud. Now that you have a good seal and proper back pressure. You should notice slightly better performance than before and quieter exhaust since all exhaust is being routed into the muffler and then atmosphere versus leaking half into the atmosphere at full volume and half through the muffler. If you want loud that look into buying after market exhaust which will typically start from cats all the way to the back.

^^ I did notice better performance, since it is actually sealed properly. I really appreciate the help guys!
I still love how it sounds, and to be honest it isn't annoying loud anymore.
