XLR8 Pulleys by Unorthodox Racing!!!

XLR8 Pulleys are lightweight aluminum pulleys manufactured for Excelerate Performance by Unorthodox Racing. Each pulley began as a UR part but was discontinued due to decreased demand. In order to still provide these parts for the Honda/Acura community we have worked with UR to have the pulleys manufactured exclusively for us.

Each pulley is designed and manufactured here in the U.S. using the latest CAD software. We use only the finest U.S. produced materials available today. Our manufacturing processes follow strict quality control measures ensuring superior products that are attractive, durable, and most of all reliable. Our pulleys are held to .001” tolerances, usually reserved for aircraft, medical, military and space manufacturing programs. All pulleys are CNC machined and 0 gram balanced and carry a full warranty from Unorthodox Racing.

Stock diameter pulleys do not underdrive the accessories. Therefore they do not require different size belts. By maintaining the stock drive they are suitable for all vehicles and necessary for any vehicle with a supercharger or a larger stereo system (over 600 watts RMS) if the consumer desires a lightweight pulley.

i got the crank pulley. but now moving to the option underdrive pulley. pulley and belts for under $60 is a deal. but then again ur is a huge company and has rep. so they raise their prices.

still. for metal.. there simply is no difference in quality cause is made by some other brand.

Their aluminum isn't anything special. and if it is, it's overdone.

hence y i went with Option...... it was my only Option... lol

with intakes its diff. thickness plays a role. but for the pulley, option, aem, ur, all the same. ur paying for the name.

comptech for example, $1000 for headers, yes they spent more money to make them carb legal but dc is $400 and carb legal.

I bought OBX first for the CL... they wer trash in my mind.. I got the ceramic ones.. (yea they paint that ceramic on, not bake it ON!!) it was like toys R us quality. IMHO

DC headers are WAY better and for the price they are the best no doubt. My bro cracked his cause his motor overheated a bunch of times and it cracked along the welds. in 2 spots. So due to ABUSE, they fucked up... so i cannot point fingers at DC for them cracking... i'm just saying, they would of held up if they were comptechs.

Comptechs are like 50% thicker, heavier and BETTER than DC, which is #2 in my mind. So Comptech is by FAR hands down, the best. And they fit like a GLOVE

That is actually untrue. There are different grades of aluminum and there are also different processes used. UR has all their pulleys designed on CAD software and then CNCed and 0 gram balanced. Option Racing does not go through the processes that UR does to ensure quality. Option Racing does not use the same quality aluminum and they do not hold their pulleys do .001” tolerances like UR does. It's just like any cheap product made in China; it's a poor imitation of the real part. It may bolt on but it isn't the same.

Also, this is our sales thread designed for the sales of our pulleys. I'd appreciate it if comments about headers and Option pulleys are removed and not posted again in our thread.
