Powerbond - http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/item...id=40&catid=16

SLP's pulley is Powerbond's... It's like buying generic drugs. They both help you in the same exact way, you're just not paying for the logo/name!

So my vote goes indirectly to SLP.

No issues here with SLP. Just a noisy tensioner that makes my car sound blown, but that was there before the pulley.
