Under Drive Pulley worth the investment?

Has anyone installed one and noticed a big difference? I am planning to get one while I don't know if it's worth it. Can anyone suggest me which kind to get and where to get it? How long does it take to install?

UD pulley's are kind of a waste because you could just get a lighter flywheel.

Assuming your gonna get a flywheel. BTW getting the crank bolt off is a beech.

If i were to do it again I would have gotten a flywheel instead, or somthing else. If you have a wrx then get a MBC or EBC or uppipe.

I guess it looks cooler to have the pulley's but they aren't really worth the investment or time on a street machine.

Another option is a lighter pully... same size, less/lighter material.

I noticed a big difference with mine, and my crank pulley was easy to uninstall with my breaker bar

I do recomend a stock sized lightweight pulley rather than a underdrive pulley though.
