Default clutch problem

I just installed a new stage 2 competition clutch and flywheel. The clutch seems to be pretty good, and stong. The installer says they did there job right. The problem is when I am in gear and my speed is decresing, it makes noise from underneath... I have changed clutches before and it never did this.. I want to know if anyonehas had the same problem, or knows anything about this... I would really appriciate any feedback.. THANKS!!!

Most likely this is the same type of "decel buzz" Honda had on the '00-'01 friction plates. I'd say your competition clutch disk has poor vibration damping (same problem Honda had before they revised the OEM clutch friction plate). If that is the problem there is no real problem other than the noise. Not sure why you didn't do what most other owners do and use a stock friction disk and aftermarket pressure plate to provide additional clamping force. This is a proven combination that's quiet and long lasting.
