I wouldn't mind helping you with that.

did you end up getting the fx350? let me know how loud it is my fx400 is loud as hell

King Tut · 04-10-2013, 12:39 PM

I think people need to realize that all the aftermarket clutches are going to be louder than OEM. For some reason the AEM thread got locked after a guy complained about how loud it is. It will be interesting to compare it to my AEM sprung 6 puck and Prolite flywheel.

ive used aftermarket before and i dont recall any of them being this damn loud.
maybe it needs to be broke in more

I got the FX300 because the 350 is not available for our cars to date. I'll provide feedback on it as soon as I can drive it and get the Wastegate to open! LOL

My FX400 is loud, but then I saw/drove another members car in person with FX400 and its identically loud to mine so I gave up on worrying about it. I was considering pulling my trans out again to double check everything, but now that I know that's just how it is, I'm fine with it. I've had louder.

Will update in some weeks.

Pure Automotive · 04-10-2013, 01:02 PM

I don't think its On/Off that bad at all, its actually pretty mild for holding 500ft/lbs torque.

300 Should be milder due to the fact that it has an 8 puck/semi full face setup.

Frs300 · 04-10-2013, 01:04 PM

i didnt have a problem driving with the fx400 pedal wasnt to hard and felt good. it just sounded obnoxiously loud. to where i almost pulled trans in my driveway to look at it.

Pure Automotive did it get any quieter the more you drove it? i know they say 500 miles to break it in.

I've only got about 400 on i right now lol, so I don't know yet

I have over 4,000 miles on my ACT, and the sound hasn't changed since the day I installed it.

I haven't noticed any slip with my stock clutch on my FBM kit. Haven't had a chance to get on the dyno so I may be slightly down on power, or my stock clutch is a mutant. I was expecting to have problems with it.
