Can someone please list the advantages of the AEM pulleys?
I'm highly considering getting them, although I've heard 2 negatives.
1) it takes away from sound system power.
2) major problems with the accords that had them and the alternators.
thanks!

Over at SuperHonda.org there has been a number of reports of dead batteries from the pulley. Check out the link for some info fellow V6ers have posted about the pulleys.

You get about 2 HP (or more ??) , but if you have an de-bosed system (in your CLS) and some big power amps that you like to play loud while sitting in city traffic, you might want to think about it.
BTW -- the "averaged" dyno curves produced/distributed via AEM always look better than the "real world" dynos here (yes, just my opinion).

(And remember the AEM graphs are not WinPep graphs -- but an aggregate of a bunch of runs and generally (IMO) look better than "actual" "real world" tests.)

I like mine and have seen no power problems. The engine does rev faster and I feel like my off the line performance has improved slightly, Besides I justg like buying my Cls presents, she's deserves it!

I resemble that remark.

You will definitely FEEL more off the line power. Also the revs seem to increase quicker as well.
For me the low end boost was the most noticable though.
For the money they are a damn good upgrade compared to exhaust or headers!
