This is for the 2003/2004 pre-facelift Toyota Corolla Sportivo (6 speed manual). 

When the clutch is replaced, does the exhaust get moved and/or loosen in order to have the work done.  I am aware that gearbox has to be removed and reassembled, refit the drive shaft and wheels, but what about elements of the exhaust?

Reason why I am asking, is that I just had a new clutch installed on my stivo (by a highly regarded clutch and brakes shop in Melbourne), and for some reason when i drove off, which started as a small, and then ended up being a large squeaking noise coming from underneath the car.  I suspect its the exhaust.

Cheers

Try taking it back to them first to see if they could diagnose the noise ? 

 

Only squeaking i could think of for exhaust squeaking are the exhaust mounts ? even then i dont think theyd make such a noice

The exhaust shouldn't need to be touched to remove the gearbox. 

It could be an engine or gearbox mount, heat shield?

When does the squeaking occur? Turning, de/accelerating, bumps in the road? Pressing the clutch pedal. 

You can also try grab the exhaust tip when cold, to see if you can replicate the squeak.

Does it only make the noise while moving or even on idle?

It's not a belt squeak or anything at all? (although the belts are well away from the clutch).
