there should be directions inside the box...if not, check out the Carbonetic website.

The noise is normal like everyone says.
You think you got noise with this clutch,

, you have not driven in a car like mine with the Tilton one. This thing is wild. And then top that off with the Greddy TI Racing exhaust. Man, you would think you are in a Hoover Craft,

.
Enjoy your clutch,

people say the twin plates are streetable, but really the noise they make is way beyond "streetable".

i do think 1100 is way too much (our dealer was charging 1200)

but we charge more than 500, depends on the shop.

you don't think 200 dollars an hour for 6 hours of work is to much? are you insane? i could see if it were a ferrari or other exotic, but a mitsubishi?

Hope this is useful...

Got my SPEC 7.25" twin disc installed in my 05' and it does indeed make noise on decel. Was hoping your quote was the rule, but not in my case. Makes a good bit of noise when leaving a stop as well, but after launching the car and flat shifting it, I will consider it a good trade-off

Cusco actually chatter also, my friend had one in his Evo.

It's normal get over it if you didn't want that sound then you should of bought a single 6 puck or something.

plus Paying 1100 dollars is outragous! i paid 150 to put in mine.
