where did you find them for $110? I've heard they free up a few hp to the wheels. They are next on my shopping list. I've seen them for $150. $110 is too good to pass up. Let me know where you found them.

don't act like a hardass.. he's a newb, plus he was sharing the good deal he is going to get on them

110 is a good deal, if you can get them for 110, get them.

Cool. Maybe give a few hp, but you'll get less alternator output. They are underdrive pulleys--that's how you get the extra power.

Nah not really. Maybe it'll last longer cause it won't be working as hard.

Yeah they probably won't cause problems, but an intake would give more hp.

AEM pulleys huh? hmm...i hear that they will only help you take off better or something like that. Better torque i guess you can say. Some say they gave back the torque loss that was lost from their intakes. If that is true then yea i would buy it. And yea 110 bux for aem pulleys sounds pretty good.

I was sorta interested in these, since they can't really make the car worse. Seems like the install would suck.

When someone asks a question that has been asked 10,000 times before, I will let them know they need to search.

But I guess you must think that this is the first time it has been asked.

Dont be mad just cause I called you out yesterday on your thread that was a repost. Thats what you get for NOT SEARCHING.

Most who have them say there is no gain. It's really only gonna free up a few hp if that. Remember that this mod isn't adding hp, it's only freeing it up by making the engine work less. My friend had them on his 6th gen and could feel a difference. On our cars probably nothing.

Isn't freeing up hp the samething as gaining hp?
And if you are freeing up some hp then thats a good thing.

I got the Unorthodox Racing set....quite a bit more $$ tho but sound hella cool...Make a whistle sound kinda like a turbo as your RPM's go up. I think they are SWEET!!! I did feel a noticeable diffrence from 4k up too....bit better pull... but remember it is still a 1.7l ULEV car. Honestly I spent $150 for the pullies from someone on this site and $60 to get em put on...it is worth it for the performance kick you get, but to pay full price for em at $350-$300 and paying for install I don't think is worth it....Also I have about a 700w stereo and I can't tell a diffrence in Alternator output. I do have a 1farad cap and an optima yellow top too though so that may have something to do with it. I didn't want to go with the AEM cause they underdrive alot more than the Unorthodox which only underdrives 10-15%. I could tell NO diff in powersteering and little if any from alternator. Just my .02 . you can check out the ones I recomend at www.unorthodoxracing.com Ultra SS set

yea unorthodox are really good pulleys. i was gonna get the unorthodox crank pulleys but everybody is telling me not to get it cuz it reduces engine life or something. So thats why i havent gotten them yet. If anybody have it can u please tell me how it is? and did it hurt your car in any way?

I have had em on for about 5000mi now with no problems...can't tell you I won't ever have any tho. I have heard they might mess things up too but I have a friend that has an Accord V6 1998 model and has had some for 30,000mi with no problems so I decided to risk it.
