Default Clacking

I get a clacking when I turn my 02 vert off. It is rather brief but still annoying. Now when I press the clutch in when I turn it off it doesn't clack at all. I think it could be my Kooks headers hitting something. Since they were on the car when I bought it I have no way of comparing it to before. I figure it is most likely the exhaust since it has the most flexibilty. My theory is that the motor shakes less when the clutch is press so that is why it doesn't clack then. What do you guys think?

Don't worry, that's a normal sound for mn6. Sounds like marbles LOL... I turn my car off with clutch depressed, no sound no complaints.

It just sounds so damaging but the more I read the more I realise its a common thing.
