I don't know them by their part number - you should refer to it as its actual name. Here's my review on the Exedy Twin Carbon:

Exedy Twin Carbon Preliminary Review

I would think any carbon clutch would need to be heated up before it works properly. Mine will slip mainly on the highway in top gear if I try to roll into boost without getting it warm, but it never does it when daily driving. Still haven't launched at the drag strip, since it's Winter, but I've done 5 or so launches at auto-x, and it was great.

Well this is a new clutch just out since December @ the PRI show and it's suppose to be more streetable so hence the reason for my question I guess it would be the hyper series so I don't know if it is different from yours.

Thanks for the replys

Don't think mine is considered to be part of the "new" series, but they did send it to me to test like their recently released 4-puck single disk that I tested. I would have thought they'd send me the newer version if anything, but they didn't mention it.

Anyway, I can't imagine anything being MORE streetable than this thing. It's ridiculously easy to drive daily - it's like the stock clutch as far as daily driving but not as weak and mushy.
