I have the RXT. Handles 500rwhp clutch dumps without complaining and drives smooth as silk on the street.

I don't remember hearing good things about the 3+

Everybody here said they love the RST or the Mach, why look elsewhere?

Just looking for alternatives and input to base my decision on. The Exedy Mach 600 which is what I would need is $600 alone and with the alum flywheel that's close to $1,000.

The same setup with the 3+ is $800.

I could of sworn I've heard people say the 3 is ok, but the 3+ sucks.

Cant you keep the stock flywheel with the RST? So you wouldn't need to spend $300 on a flywheel.

You should do it right the first time, and get the RST so it'll handle whatever you can throw at it!

Yes you can keep the stock flywheel with the RST!

Seems the best bang for the buck IMO for up to 700 RWHP!

Okay, I'm going with the Exedy Mach xxx Not sure which one, the Mach 500 or the 600 ? What do you guys think?

Always go for overkill when upgrading transmission components. The labor involved in dropping the transmission is difficult/expensive enough that you don't want to do it any more often than absolutely necessary. Get the highest HP/TQ rated clutch that you can comfortably afford as long as it matches your streetability requirements.

Does anyone know if the Exedy Mach 600 is street friendly?
