Exactly how is the flywheel loud? I understand it's a fast moving metal part, but why does the noise increase? Even for a stock Z, is it worth the upgrade?

I got the ACT flywheel (18lbs) and the stock is 30ish pounds (cant remember exact) its louder in low rpm's, (2,000-2,500) and the noise is just the teeth of the flywheel. The lighter ones are a single disk and no dampeners, it is louder at those rpm's I mentions and at idle you will here is slightly. Some ppl think something is wrong with the car but there isnt, also, with a lighter flywheel you will have to rev higher to get the car to move otherwise you will get a lot of judder or your car will put out and die lol.

It is louder then stock and you WILL notice it.

It kind of sounds like there is rocks in your transmission at idle. Almost a diesel truck idle kind of sound.
