Wow that sound great to me. My clutch a SB DD3600 is not that loud at all. My brothers for his duramax sounds like a witch cackling.

Sprung hubs dampen driveline shock, torsional vibrations, transmission gear noise, resonance, etc. etc.
The noise reduction is only a small after effect of the sprung hubs. A big part of the newer dual discs being quieter is the tighter tolerances between the floater plate and flywheel along with levers that retain the floater to the flywheel.

Some of my older DD's were louder than the truck when the clutch pedal was depressed. I actually dont mind the noise..kinda sets you apart from the wimpy single disc crowd if you ask me!

Can I upgrade my clutch to this. I just bought mine 2 months ago and I put 45 miles on it. Then my motor went KABOOM.

lmills what kind of clutch do you have. 3600,3800,4200. Did you hit your 730 on #2 only. Im hoping to hit around those numbers on 2 only. It must be a lot of fun to drive your truck. Is that all the mods you have.
