btw, do u like ur pulley? n who install it for u?

Honestly, I'm having a hard time feeling the difference between stock and with the pulley installed. I did a before and after dyno before and right after I installed the pulley and it showed no gains. Paperwork says gains should come within a week but butt dyno says nothing. Take the advise of others on this board, save your $150.00+

So... did the dealer take care of the noise? Updates! Updates! lol

Yes, the dealer did take care of the issue. It was my power steering pump. Apparently it went bye bye, they replaced it under warranty. All is well now

Glad they fixed the noise!

It's all good! It kind of makes sense though... lighter pulley = less energy to spin. Not enough to really notice with daily driving. I mean, it's just a pulley.
