Tilton Twin on the street, no thanks!

Tilton Twin on the street, no thanks!
well, its been about a month with the tilton twin cerametallic & i am getting sick of it. i know others have stated that this clutch is usable as a daily driver, but im beginning to wonder just how often they really drive it & what they have as far as hills where they live.....
dont get me wrong, this is one of the most streetable "Race" clutches i have ever driven, & it has THE smoothest high rpm shifting. its just that driving it every day in traffic & living in a geographic area that is anything but flat is getting to me. & im starting to feel the trade off in drivability & noise are not worth it.....
i know its not my skills as i have driven MANY cars with all types of clutches, as well as getting almsot 50k out of my stocker (wich would have kept going but wasnt up to 450+ ft/lbs)
im leaning towards a exedy twin as id like to stay with a twin for the increased grip / service interval. im thinking the increased mass as well as larger floater & sprung hubs, should help the drivability.... though my budget & common sense are telling me i should just go with an ACT single disc combo.......
anyone looking for a low milage tilton twin? lol...... PM me!

dude my xtreme act w/street disk is just SICK! I love it so much. No high-rpm lockout either. Perfect for a DD but can hold 550ft/lbs + and the engagement is, dare I say, better than stock.

my exedy twin really isn't that noisy. it seems to vary from car to car. and i love driving it on the street. traffic isnt really a problem. i personally think my exedy feels the way stock should have been.

but .....a friend of mine had an exedy twin for sometime & i can say for certian the tilton is noticably louder. probably due to the exedy's sprung hubs
thanks for the info though

I daily drive with my tilton and don't have any problems taking off from a stop. Have you had your car retuned since you had the clutch installed. I had to play around a little with my tune to keep it from stalling with the low inertia of this clutch. My biggest problem with it is the vibration and PO300s I keep getting at highway speeds. Other than the PO300s, I love this clutch and wouldn't trade it for anything.

I have had an ACT Extreme, and now I have the Exedy HD Twin.
I must say with the ACT, it is quite a bit of difference from the pedal feel as far as how hard you have to press. For the Exedy, I wouldn't buy any other clutch now that I have it.
As far as how it is compared to what you have, I do get some chatter, but it is pretty rare. I have heard a few Tiltons that were just crazy loud.
Installation issues maybe?

im running an AEM, self tuned.... runs great & never dies or dips in RPM, from cold to hot, idle part throttle & WOT is rock solid. checked some logs recently as well & it seems the EMS wasnt picking up much extra vibration/noise from the knock sensor
do you have many hillls where you live? i think it would be ok if i lived in Florida or somewhere in the midwest. but here in so-cal & particularly where i live it seems 60% of the stoplights are on uphill inclines
