Installed my new bracket stands this weekend and so far NO belt chirp. I didn't get install instructions so I didn't know about loosening the manifold to help line up the blower. Maybe I'll do that next weekend just to make sure there is no pressure on the bracket.

I have the 10 rib and with the new tensioner and stands have zero chirping. I'm even still using the original belt from 2 years ago and it's nice and quiet now.

Just finished up my Whipple install this morning and I'd like to report that the belt looks like it's sitting true on all pulleys and not riding the edge of any as well. I used the updated tensioner and stands as well as pulling the manifold as far forward as possible before tightening.

Very happy I went with Whipple. Such a nice kit and looks oem under hood.

Finally got around to installing the new tensioner tonight and my idler pulley seems sloppy and moves around a lot with the supplied bolt before fully tighten. Anyone else notice this? Should I try to center it or push to the inside before I tighten the alien bolt?

Did you do the spacers too with the new tensionar

If not I did just tensionar before they came out with the spacers shot my belt right off
