I always try to look for a better deal somewhere on the internet but $10.00 more or less won't kill me.
Call me stupid, but I'm just thankful for all the hard work RRM put into our cars.

Also if A2 is offering a belt, they themselves can run about thirty to fifty bucks. So really the pulley is costing you sixty bucks? You're saving more than ten bucks with the A2 pulley.
Someone will have to get this part to see how much lighter it is compared to stock and write a review of it, but already it's a better deal.
In no way am I trying to knock RRM. These are the facts. As always to keep this on topic and aviod the fan boys: RRM is a great company that offers great parts and technical support... </fanboy retardent>

hey shingen, i just said i bought it and it sould be here soon. . . . i hope soon. i'll start a new post with a product review. just got headers and downpipe, already have a catback and sri. im thinking pulley should realistically give 5 hp? is that reasonable. or at least easier revs.

Yeah i would like to see a review of this when it comes in. I already have the RRM pulley but I'm just curious. And yeah another guy began to develop the pulleys but I think he didn't have the right resources or something so he allowed RRM to make them. And yes the Mirage pulleys work as well but require a different belt. So I guess RRMs is different because it is the same size but lighter than stock.

i wonder if these a2 designs really add hp. their dual throttle body looks like a scam. who knows. i asked them if their stage 2 w/cold air intake will fit an auto.

damn, shin AND DJ beat me to it 
Good work guys. And yes, the mirage pulleys work fine. The even lighter that lightweight Mirage underdrive pulley is awesome, even if the install was a biatch. If you don't want to mess with new belts then save yourself a few bucks and try the new guy.
Phillip said he'd have dyno results for the twins a couple weeks ago. I'm interested but I have concerns about the design. Two pipes merge over the header and then the MAS has to be moved. Did we have a lot of problems with early design CAI's that tried to move the MAS closer to the filter to read the coldest possible intake temp
It's an awesome price and it would go nicely with my current setup.... waiting patiently.

Hey Guys...new to the forum but been browsing these for a while. Whats up with the contradicting info from both sites. A2 says the stock pulley is 11lbs and RRM says it is 4 Lbs?
Minor yes, but is A2 trying to pull something here? I dont discredit either...ive been eyeing the DualTB from A2 but no one gotten it put in yet and written a review. I guess we will wait and see with this one as well.
