Sounds like the wheel bearing is bad. Almost the same as when mine went out.

jack up the rear and spin your wheel w/ your hands. sounds like something came loose and is scrapping. maybe ur dust sheild got bent somehow n is scrapping on the rotor. you will have to take off your wheel to find out.

I turned the rotors and it still makes the noise. I'm going to try and stick the stock pads back in and if that doesn't work I don't even know. It's not a wheel bearing because they are all brand new and the noise is only there when slowing down. It gets louder under 15mph and doesn't go away until I take off again.

I was looking and it seems the prop shaft has spit out greese all over the underside of my car so I'm wondering if the prop shaft has gone bad? Need help guys. Whats making me think its brake related is if I jump in the car and drive around never touching the brakes I don't hear the noise but as soon as I brake hard a few times i begain to hear the noise.

The noise is at the same speed as wheel speed, as far as I can tell from the video.
Sounds from the propshaft are at least 4 times faster than wheel speed.

Loose wheel weight?
Allthough that would be loose all the time.

Are you sure the inner rear pads have the pin aligned with the piston?

You'll have to jack up the rear and remove wheels to remove pads.
If you have enough jackstands, lift the complete rear, remove wheels, start engine, in gear, apply e-brake and listen.

And how does the propshaft ruin a pilot bearing?
It has to go through the sec. reduction, the secundairy shaft, via a gear into the main shaft.
Just asking

OP. I looked under my car once and saw grease in a circular motion from the prop shaft where it connects to the diff. Just tighten the prop shaft. I didn't torque them down enough after installing my clutch
