Golf Mk7 Single Mass Vs Dual Mass Clutch Sound Comparison (W/ Fluidampr)

This is my attempt of a before and after clutch comparison of the noise we get when upgrading a MK7 with manual transmission to a single mass flywheel.

This is the day after my car was upgraded. I got the APR Stage 2 with APR downpipe, and a South Bend Stage 3 Daily clutch. And I had the Fluidampr installed just because it seemed like a good idea.

The reason for the upgrade was because I upgraded to APR Stage II. I know the stock clutch will not hold up to the stage 2 tune, so I decided to replace it before I had problems, rather than waiting for the inevitable problems.

I had 50k miles on the stock clutch, and I had APR stage 1 91 octane (low torque) since around 2,000 miles. I got the tune in late 2016, and from what I can remember, the published numbers at the time were 290ft/lbs and 269hp.

The new clutch is the South Bend Stage 3 Daily. I also had a Fluidampr installed at the same time.

Please let me know how you think this compares to a single mass without Fluidampr. This isn't a perfect test, but hopefully the comparison makes it easier for someone considering the upgrade to know what it will sound like.

My conclusion is that the noise is really not a big deal. It kind of comes and goes as well. I don't hear it at all when I'm in the car; it's literally the day after I had it installed, and I'm trying to decide if I actually notice it!
