does the NEW CLUTCH INSTALLATION MAKE ENGINE LOUDER?
 
Ever since i got the new clutch in there-ACT... EVrytime i acclerate my engine sounds louder,,especially on 4th gear when im going over 80 mph on 4th gear , it is louder then before when i first got my car, it was smooth and seemed faster... Get back to me if u guys have the same problem or know whats the problem if any thanks.

What exactly does the noise sound like. Is it like a whin, or a growl or like the engine is under a load. Or does it sound like an exhaust leak.

Shit man,, Honestly bro, i couldnt tell ya... Its just when i accelerate its loud in 3rd and 4th gear mostly when im on 4th gear foing 80 and over.(accelerating)

Is the noise at a constant tone, or does the pitch of the noise change while accelerating or decelerating? Did you change anything else besides the clutch, i.e lightened flywheel, driveshaft, etc?

I'll be installing an ACT in my Z in the next couple of weeks. I'll keep my eye out for anything that looks like it could make sense. I hope you find it before then. Good luck.
