I guess it could be , all I know is that with the top up it is VERY loud. Are there any easy cures for this if it is clutch related. I felt like it was exhaust related. My entire car is all stock, exhaust, intake,.. everything

You either have a leak/hole in the exhaust somewhere or it is decel rattle. Decel rattle is loudest at around 3000-3500 rpms when you let off the gas. If you are hearing this sound when you are accelerating then it might be the exhaust. Get under the car and look for leaks.
The only way to remedy clutch decel rattle is to replace the clutch with the updated version. There is a TSB for this and so take it back to the dealer if you have a warranty. It's harmless, but you have to decide if you want to live with it.
Forgot to mention that I may also be the axle nut, it may need to be re-tightened to spec. There is also a TSB for that. Bottom line narrow down where the noise is coming from.
