Just chiming in, My Quartermaster lasted me 10,775 miles. However, this is with my being dumb on the learning curve getting used to handling it.
It only has a half inch of travel between engaged and disengaged.
The noise is nothing noteworthy in neutral or clutch disengaged. the squeal on engagement is noticeable, but not bad. I give it a 3 out of 5 for the "next car thinks my car is old and busted" noise. Decel noise is not too bad. CLutch chatter under low load during highway cruise is unnerving, though. I give that a 4 out of 5.
But, forgetting the main point of buying the thing, It will handle whatever power you need.

The first clutch I put in my car was an used Exedy twin HD. This clutch lasted me 15k and drove perfectly. Very easy clutch to learn off of. I even taught my wife how to drive a 5-speed with this clutch. When I decided to do some upgrades, I my first choice was an Exedy triple. Yes, the clutch is kind of expensive, but you get what you pay for. With no experience on this clutch, the first 60' cut was a 1.47. It's very predictable (unlike the QM) so the driver can easily find the engagement point of the clutch. This is coming from a person that had a QM in his 2g AWD and daily drove it. If you really want a consistent clutch that will last, I would go with an Exedy twin or triple.

Also for the old style (once it gets replaced by the revised ed.) you can take the clutch to a machine shop and have the hub assembly shaved down slightly for more life. Because when this clutch slips there is a ton of meat still left on the plates. There's a guy who did this to his and got another 10k+ out of it.. now I just have to find the thread.

I know this is an old thread but I'm in a situation where I would benefit from some imput. I'm at the 700+ hp mark and the current exedy hd push style ams clutch is now slipping. I could rebuild this clutch but is it worth it. I got roughly 13-15k out of the clutch. This would be the first rebuild on the pressure plate but the 3rd on my flywheel. Should I replace the flywheel or just resurface it. It is impossible to find any information on the internet about this subject.
Any help is appreciated.

we're on the same boat man. I actually HAVE a QM Twin (old style) in my VIII and it's slipping. Not sure of the miles from the previous owner(s) but i know it needs a new one. I want to get a Exedy Twin but i'm not ready to kick out that money for it if i can rebuild what i have.
I'm still waiting on someon to drop in their Total mileage on their QM twin compared to the Exedy Twin. From what i've read the QM will hold all the power over the Exedy but since i have the QM already i figured the rebuild kit would do.
How I drive: No 1/8 or 1/4 Mile Tracks. No AutoX.
Mainly trips to and from georgia to n. carolina and florida.
Mods: Full ETS Kit (UICP, LICP & FMIC) HTA86r-kelford 272-JMF Drag IM-FB 70mm TB- Speed Density... ?
i just want it to last a while, maybe a few launches (10-15 a year?)
because if i don't get a twin disc, i'm just going to part out everything minus the head and go back to stock with a exedy stage 2.
