Is it light weight? Underdrive? Overdrive? 7-10 HP gain...doubtfull

Nice pulleys but there will certainly be NO hp gain. Aesthetics only is what you'll gain. They do look impressive though. Also if your Vibe sees winter driving then the salt will destroy these pulleys in no time :x Update your profile showing location for us ;)

:shock: $357 for under-hood aesthetics? Too rich for my blood!

Save some money and get this one instead: http://www.ebay.com/itm/OBX-Power-Pulle ... 32&vxp=mtr" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Same thing as the UR, but a lot less money. I have used these OBX pulley's on my Vibe AWD. No issues.

Beware light weigh underdrive pulleys have a tendancy to knock a bit of life off of the engine and can cause leaks at the front seal. I have an unorthadox pulley on my supraand have had no problems, but they are internaly ballanced due to the design of the crank.

The light weight pulley is more of an issue on the 2zz engine because of it's high revs. The 1zz is far less of an issue unless you bypass the rev limiter.
