Unorthodox Underdrive pulley complaints??

I'm thinking about installing an Unorthodox Racing Underdrive pulley in my '02Max. Has anyone that did this mod on their cars had any problems, or adverse affects after doing this mod??
I've heard nothing but good stories about these. But i'm worried about the long term.

Any suggestions??????????

Pulleys will not hurt your engine in the long run, and will actually help your accessories last a little longer since the pulley for the 3.5 is an underdrive pulley.

Really? I've heard about them not being good in the long run, because they throw off the "harmonic balance" of the engine.
Anyway, everyone gives praise to these things! I guess as long as i get it done right, it'll be worth the $$!

Thanks 4 the reply yo!!!!

By the way "Oh Three", if you had the V6 Altima with all those mods, why did you make the switch to a slower 4 cylinder Sentra???

Do you like the look better?? Just curious

hey man... I have met one person with an 03 and complained about the pulley. He took it off because it was affecting his stereo system. He would recommend a stock size light weight pulley if anything. He's on these forums as t56gen3. Tell him I sent you his way and he'll answer any question you got.

Chris

PS. He's an ex stereo system installer, so I know that wasn't the problem.

Thanks for the 411 "Blue"!! I've heard about the pulley affecting the stereo system also. Someone recommended getting a more powerful battery to solve this problem. But i don't have a large sound system. Everything's stock except 4 the two 8's I have in the trunk. Maybe my stereo won't be affected. Anyway, thanks again, i'll holla at your man and see what's up!!

true bro, you will notice that your revs will be much quicker than before and your take offs will improve as well.

No Doubt!!! That's precisely what i'm looking for.
Do you have a system, or a stock stereo setup??
I'm hearing the pulley can affect the stereo system.

When idling, your lights will dim a bit when the bass hits... thats about it unless you have a HUGE system.

When driving... no issues.

Really?? That's cool. I only have two 8" inch sub-woofers in my trunk, nothing big or fancy by any means....
I should be ok then with my stereo...... right????
