Help. Weird noise from engine bay

[Oh9Speed3]

Hey guys, The only mods my 2009 Speed3 has are a mazdaspeed intake and hks blow off. Both have been on the car for about a month. Within the last two weeks or so however, i have noticed a sort of creaking sound from the left side of the engine bay. The sound occurs when i start rolling from a stop, when i shift, and when i accelerate, so basically anytime that the engine would be moving. Could this sound be caused by the intake or could i possibly have a broken motor mount? Thanks

i just took my car in for the same noise its a creaking noise and i though maybe it was the clutch since it did it when i was releasing to begin moving and it stoped when i fully got off the clutch. BUT instead they said it aws the axel on the driver side. they removed it and added anti-seize. I dont know where or if its a tsb but i do know that the noise is gone. sorry i cant give you more info but thats all my repair order stated.

Remove the hks BPV and take it in to the dealer.

i had a noise like that sounded like a throw out bearing taking off in first gear. i took off the mid pipe that bolts to the downpipe and there are black donut seals in there and when they get hot they expand and start to screech. i put some high temp anit-seeze on them noise was gone instantly

Intake could be rubbing in the engine bay. only reason I say this is because my bro in law had the same thing happen with his 07 when we put the injen cai in. When ever he gave the car gas or turned the cai would just barely rub
