DME offers two types of bushings that the customer can use. The red is a bit stiffer (track) and the black is a bit on the softer (street) side, which would mean less vibration.

How is the pricing? I couldnt find it.
I have had your pulleys in the past and had great customer service.
I wouldnt mind trying this out if the price is decent. Have any pics of one installed?

How about turbochared cars? I'll give a review when I get mine and install.. I ordered mine . Are instructions included? Lastm would u recommend usind dynamat like ppl do with the ingalls?

the brackets look a little on the small side, I don't think i would put those on a car with more than s/c powered cars hp range. But you are more than welcome to prove me wrong! I just like the beefy ingalls one best, i like structural integrity.

well i just got it and the picture they have been advertising is not for the scion tc. it looks much like ingall's but with DME on the side and the brackets are beefy (3/16") it also come with a long bolt, which idk where it goes, maybe to mount to the engine. well ill go install it and let u know.
edit: no digi camera so no pics
edit 2: got it installed, cabin noise has increased substantially but i havent adjusted it completely ie more sound dampening material. also do other ETD come with instructions, had to look at the DIY to figure it all out.

Hey Buckets, I did not recieve any instructions, I dont think they come with any to begin with.......
But did you get the 2 sets of bushings, Red and Black? For some reason I am having a hard time finding the red one lol

Hey guys,
Its true, there are no instructions in the package. But installation shouldn't be very difficult. We are working on a full DIY thread to make it crystal clear very soon.
Also...
DME offers two types of bushings that the customer can use. The red is a bit stiffer (track) and the black is a bit on the softer (street) side, which would mean less vibration.
The ETD is pre-loaded with the RED bushings. Open it up and use the black ones if you plan to do mostly city driving.
Thanks again everyone, good luck and have fun with all your projects!!!
