Bought one in September and paid $293.
That's actually pretty reasonable in my opinion

Too early on a Saturday morning....er lunch....I read $293 and thought someone paid that for an RPM belt lol
$293 is reasonable for the whipple adj tensioner
My rpm belt was $61 shipped from rock auto.
And yes sub $300 for the Whipple piece is good, especially if you need it!
Initially when my rpm belt was new, zero squeaks or chirps on a cold start up. Now it does.
Never a chirp with a gatorback.

Jeff, that was someone else that posted pictures with cords bleeding through.That's weird as hell. Mines 3 years old whisper quiet.
When you posted that first photo of yours.....and I saw those cords bleeding thru....I mentioned it was different. Mines perfectly smooth. Gates either changed their build process or that one you got should have been rejected.

It's been around 60 degrees. Green belts do it at any temp.My bad! That was gm2ford's belt.
I have no idea then. It's either different pulley materials between our 2 setups.....or possibly weather. How cold was it there? I doubt I've ever started my car below 60 degrees in 3 years.
Oh well. You'll have to go back to gatorback and just fight the dust battle. I can't stand start up chirp!

Not yet, this week I will. That's also a possibility.Ok.
Did you ever get her out and see if it held under WOT? The other possibility is.....if it's so loose on tension that it's not even holding wrap....that could be loose enough even at start up to make chirp noise first fire cold.
