Strange Suspension Noise?

So... I'm out of options at this point. I've had multiple people look at my suspension and they have all said it's perfect and don't know where the sound is coming from. I've put it on myself to buy a camera and mount and figure this out. This issue is only happening when turning right, no matter how far I turn the steering wheel right it makes this noise. Car only has 33k miles on it, it's sitting on stock suspension. I've noticed this happens more often after the car has been sitting for a while and does not happen when I'm driving straight or on a curve. Below is a video from this morning.

Already changed, made no difference. I thought it was motor mounts but it wasn't that either. I'm trying to pinpoint the problem instead of just throwing money at it until it's fixed. If it has to do with the suspension (Which I was told wasn't the case) then I'll just swap over the entire system to coilovers instead of just replacing pieces one by one.

I'm looking at KWs, Ohlins, and H&R, like I said though I'm looking to solve the problem with my stock suspension before just replacing and it not even fixing the problem.

What kind of sounds are you getting from the front?
I installed my ohlins with vorshlag camber plates and facing some noise from the fronts as if something is moving.

Sigh, I also have the R/T and no knocking noise yet granted I have a weird binding like sound if I turn the wheel full lock in one direction but general driving no issues yet. Love the coils but I’ve read of the wait times that some folks have to go through for the rebuild and I dread it a bit.

In an ideal world I’d just have a second set handy but my stock suspension might have to make due when such a time comes.

How many miles if you might know roughly did you get outta them?

UPDATE!

The noise has been resolved. Funny enough it wasn't the suspension. Since I'm running a downpipe that's catless and an Akrapovic exhaust there was a bracket the old downpipe would bolt onto to hold in place. Removed bracket and noise is completely gone. Seems like the exhaust was rubbing on the bracket making this noise.
