Message	Anyone installed one of these and noticed more noise from it? Customer had me put one on for him with his 120k kit. I seem to hear a slight whirring noise now. The belt is a lot stiffer than oem and the back side is not as smooth. It seemed to get quieter as the engine warmed up. Going to run the car cold again tonight to see if its still there and/or if it does the same thing. Wondering if anyone else had noticed the same thing?
