transmission/axle problem i think?

finally got my car back today after getting a stage 1 clutch put in. long story short. I broke down last week because of the bracket on passenger side broke causing my axle to come out of tranny causing me to have no movement. thought it was clutch but was really this bracket. anyway, before I broke down my car had this rubbing noise only when i had the gas pedal down. does anyone have any idea what this noise could be. I've checked everything underneath to see if my wheels were rubbing but couldn't find anything. I'm getting paranoid b/c it's still going on after my clutch and bracket replacement. could it be my axles are going bad or something wrong with my tranny? and also, isn't a stage 1 suppose to have a stiffer pedal feel? because mine is lighter than stock now. please help.

I have a sound semilar to dat, and I it only happens when I start my Max with the clutch down. then it gets worst when my clutch is released. It also happens when I shift from 1st - 3rd gear. I was thinking it is time to replace my clutch and clutch cable.

and by the way without the rubbing, your Max sounds awesome.
