#10716, "AF/X or Unorthodox, which gives better performance."


          

I see most eclipses with the AF/X UDP and I thought it gave a little better performance but I also see that the unorthodox is more expensive. Can someone explain the difference between the two?

Thanks!

The Unorthadox pulley is 20% underdriven, decent quality, but quite expensive.

The AFX pulley is 30% underdriven, very good quality, and cheaper. That is why everyone goes with the AFX. Better quality, better performance, and only $160 shipped with belts.

correction: the NEW wuns like I have are 30% underdrive for Unorthodox. I love mine. But ya, you pay more for it. Mine was like $200 or $240 not sure, have to ask trisha.

The AFX was clearly better than the OLD unorthodox pulley. Since then Unorthodox made a 2nd generation pulley with equal underdrive and if I'm not mistaken lighter with the ability to removet he power steering section of the pulley when at the track. The question is, is it worth an extra $100. You ask me the answer is HELL NO. As long as the AFX is $160 and the rest are $230+ I wouldn't worry if I was Howell. If you got the newer UR at least your not giving up any performance. If you got the old one well.....
