Does anyone have these?
I was thinking about getting the under drive pulleys..has anyone added them to their car..they say up to 12 HP (Evo Sport)..if anyone has this mod is it true or is this mod not worth getting...currently the car is stock besides the body kit..thanks

I haven't installed them on my car, nor can I assure you it gives you 12 bhp.
However, I CAN assure you that you will feel a good power difference after installing them. Unlike chipping or tuning the car, you're mechanically upgrading the motor. I see no problem for any Benz to receive AT LEAST 7-8 whp. 12 is possible. Some owners have claimed 20+.
And I think Evosport sells them for around $400. Definately worth it in my opinion. I'm gonna get it done this summer, especially since you're gonna be using A/C every time you drive (here in Houston, A/C is a must summetime).

I have to say...I'm inclined to move towards the Power Chip package from EVO Sort for $990 before I would drop $400 into the underdrive pully arrangement. Go to the link above and look at the before and after charts for our cars. It's dramatic and a lot of bang for the buck...in my opinion.
On the other hand...if you do both the pullys and the chip...then you are really into a big difference.
