Default Unorthodox Racing Pulley

I recently changed out my stock pully with a UR lightweight pulley

The reason i replaced the stock pulley was because it was wobbling alot

The new lighweight pulley still wobbles any one know what could be causing this?

and also i hear a sound like ..hissing mixed with rattling ive been told its te Bpipe on the exhaust ...but it only started immediatly after installing my headers... any ideas??

i also hear a chirping sound that comes from where the slave clutch is

any Info woul be appreciated


Thanks

Thats a lot of questions for not knowing your motor or set-up.
Wobble??? What do you mean by wobble? Have you seen it wobble of do you just feel vibration?

now when you mean stock pulley, you are talking about the harmonic damper on the crank isnt it? If your engine is having problems then replacing your pulley that dampens harmonic vibration with one that dampens nothing will destroy the oil pump and eventually your motor in a hurry. These pulleys provide a 3hp gain at the cost of your engine...

Thats true, you have a point ..but will it really damage ur motor? have u ever experienced a broken motor or have friends who this has happened to or is this just something that is an opinion?

Either way thanx for the feedback
