[ScienceofSpeed]

With the engine running? Does it make the same sound w/o the engine running?

Suppose to be normal.

Most aftermarket clutches do make noise.

I'm considering this and the SOS Carbon which is suppose to be quieter....

[tbnsxt]

every os giken clutch ive heard makes this noise. Its normal.

 

[kookoo4nsx]

OH Lord that sound is Heinous!

 

[ScienceofSpeed]

This is normal for the OS Giken, Exedy, and Carbonetics. The discs and floater are free floating.

I heard some rumors that your carbon carbon clutch is now even quieter and probably the quietest one.

True?

 

[e.pie]

Used to have an OS Giken clutch in one of my old cars and it made the same noise.


It used to make an awesome honking sound when it got warm and you slipped it too, gotta love race clutches lol.

Yes, it is much quieter because the tolerance of the floater in the cover is tighter and the steel floater interfaces with hard anodized aluminum, instead of steel against steel, which quiets things down.

Sounds exactly like my exedy...

 

[MetalSpikeRacing]

OH Lord that sound is Heinous!

Hideous does not describe it!!!
How da hell do they put out aproduct like that!!

I been around a few race clutches and I have never heard this...

The clutch WORKS beautifully though, the thing is that your car is supposed to be louder than the clutch.

And the Exedy twin is also quiet (although it works like crap)

 

[BlackbirdXX]

Sounds like a Ducati

 

[shawn110975]

sorry but my OEM Dual doesnt sound like that actually you cant even hear it.

that sounds like shi_t I wouldnt drive or use a product that sounds like that no matter what.

 

[gabedm]

My exedy Hyper Single does not make a weird sound like that? Engagement sounds a bit rough but in general its pretty quiet?

What model did you get?

Unfortunately most aftermarket unsprung dual disc clutches on the market clatter like that. Its the tradeoff for lightness and holding capacity

You shouldnt be sitting at a stop eith the clutch in anyway.
