I don't really know why but I love that look.

Two questions:
Do you notice any difference in the sound? Is it quieter or noiser?
Is there any difference in performance?
Might be dumb questions but they're all mine!

i havnt measured the belt, but bdl says its 2 3/4". the install was easy after getting the race off the mainshaft, theres a tool that cost $213, the stealer wanted 70, but i found a local that done it, was gonna charge $15, but his tool stripped out. he did get it pulled out far enuff that i could get a regular puller on it. oh i had to buy 4 bolts, cuz the ones with the kit wasnt long enuff.
