I don't know much about the Exedy clutch.
I would get a Centerforce DF clutch.
My cousin has a Centerforce clutch on his 02 WRX
and it has held up great with NO signs of wear.
Just make sure you have a reputable shop that knows
what they are doing install your new clutch.
Sounds to me your current clutch is giving out and
I would install a new clutch before racing any POS honda.

I got the exedy organic clutch and streetlite flywheel combo for $700 and I have had no problems with it so far. The install will run you about $450-500.

I would stick with the stock clutch. Its easy on the gears and can hold good power.

Exedy Organic clutch is not noisy, if anything it would be the lightened flywheel that makes noise. I went with the Exedy Organic sport clutch/ACT Streetlite fly in my 03 WRX with the RA gears and it worked out good. Pedal feel was close to stock and it was just as easy driving it around town, but funner...easier to flick the RPM's around. But as Subie OCD said, if you're not gonna boost your car alot, stick with the stock clutch. It handles well over stock output, is user friendly, and usually cheaper.

What do you guys think of this?

They are pretty cheap and dont look bad.

But it is going in a daily driver so I need some opinions.

Lol I wouldn't want to drive a car everyday with that clutch. The OEM clutch almost holds that much power anyways, so I'd say it's not worth it.

I bought the exedy clutch above, so I hope it works wonders. It is supposed to be a oem replacement with a little more durability, which should be perfect for my slightly modded 2.5rs
