Default 03 STI strange tinny clunk??

Just recently when I put the car in reverse and start to let the clutch out there is a slight clunk but its a more tinny sounding clunk if you know what I mean? CV joint you may think but it seems to be coming from underneath like it maybe a propshaft problem but its not all the time either, has any one experienced this please, is it a major issue if left or can I overlook it for a bit and save up lol, cheers!!

Might be a loose driveshaft nut. Mine clicked on and off light load in low gears when this happened. Just pull off the wheel centre caps and check staking on the nuts are in the groove, if not then nut has loosened.

Other possibilities include: Downpipe to gearbox support bracket. Exhaust pipe touching the rear diff.
