Go to Napa auto parts. The part number is 060569. They are made by Gates. They are not the shiny blue version, but work great. I've been using it for a while now, and I think I paid around 15-20 for it.
It should be 57.5" in length I believe. This is for NON-AC.

I replaced the accessory drive belt with a Goodyear 'gatorback' poly-v belt after I developed a annoying 'cricket' sound coming from the pulley/belt area.
P/N: 4060705 / 6PK1790 $35-
It has this cross-serrated pattern design on the belt that suppose to make it quieter than other belts. Had it on for over a year and so far no issues.

Probably needless to say, but I'll be ordering the replacement from Advance.
I've also heard great stories about these belts from other big block supercharger users.

I agree.. Go to AutoZone and pick up the Goodyear Gator Belt.. I want to say its around ~30, but you can't beat the quality and how they are built to last!! Also, I have a 2005 EVO and for some reason when I go in there.. I have to tell them 2003.. they don't have 2005 EVO parts in the system for some reason :P

Yeah, I called autozone to check for a part # (before I ordered from Summit) and they said they didn't list any belts for the Evo IX. Advance is semi-local too, so I'll pick it up there rather than ordering on-line. Auto Zone does seem to have one in stock, but I'll patron the people who gave me the right info.

They don't seem to be bad either. I've just yet to see a "normal" belt that will last better than the Gatorback. As I've said in the past, I abused the hell out of just about every 4 rib out there with a tiny pulley on a Eaton blower. It ate everything under the sun less the Gatorbacks. I fell upon them by mere chance when I did.
Truth is, I'm sure with the pulley arrangement on the Evo, any belt will last a good while. These should just last a little longer, quieter, etc.
My loyalty lies in what works vs. brand/country of origin loyalty. Some seem to hate me for that... sorry, I'm about best dollar spent.
