Would anyone be able to diagnose this before I take it to my mechanic. It's this awful clicking noise in the engine bay. The car is running a catless dp and tune if that would have any affect. Also you can't hear the clicking when the hood is closed and the engine isn't shaking either.

You should take a video of it with the engine cover on. The engine cover does insulate the sound better. It could be normal because the injectors in our cars are loud.

Sounds normal. You are hearing the injectors. Like mentioned above, the engine cover is designed to absorb a lot of that sound. Nothing to worry about.
