Uh, if you like noise, and you're not too fond of money, then sure, go for it.

It doesnt give you anything you dont already have really, except 'lightweight pullies' :-p

You probably dont need as much tension on it too, so you might save a little bit there.

But I'd say: Definitely not worth it

Positive: Kinda good for the Bling factor, plus no belt slippage.

Negative: Expensive belts..

Yes they are loud, but not obnoxiously so. You definitely notice a car that has them.
