Default RE: liking or disliking rpmoutlet aside, do they sell quality products?

Yea, hit up www.autobadges.com

The 24% is widely sold and is a time and quality proven UD pulley as they're made by the leading brand.

The 42% is made by motoblue, and is only sold by RPMoutlet[:'(]. It's an OK quality product, however, there is really no difference in performance between the two. The 42% may crank out 2 more rwhp at best, but other than that, they're pretty much the same thing. The 42% may also cause problems in the long run as you'll be serriously putting a drain on your battery at idel.

Yes, but if you sit at idel for too long, you may start to drain the battery, so you'll have to tap the gas every now and then, and by long time I mean, stuck in the parking lot after a show for 1 hour or so not moving more than 200 feet.

Yeah, I know I really wanted to get the 42% but I heard all the stories about RPM outlet... if you guys had it I would have definitely got it.

the 42% motoblue thing? I only trust ASP to tell you the truth and we don't sell what we wouldn't put on our own cars....and I would only put on ASP to be honest with you guys. See with our company it's not just about a SALE, its about being certain what we sell is the BEST in the market and knowing we are selling top notch products that our customers will be 110% satisfied with

Feels like im the only V6 guy that has the 42%......ive said this so many times it hurts. Ive had no problem with it at all, customer service was fine, shipping was quick and ive had it for a year. The thing is, i live in wisconsin and dont use the AC.....ever. AC doesnt blow as cold, but thats about it.
Id say the UDP was the 2nd best mod ive done yet, behind my tuner of course.

Alright, well I trust your judgement. I think I read also that the aluminum ones were warping under heat or something? Doesn't matter, I'm happy with my 25%!
