ok, finally got a hold of someone down at uuc, he said that pulleys are getting iodanzied (however u spelli it) means they are getting painted and they don't do that themswlfs, it's a dea aproved thingy so they said that they should get them back anyday now and ocne they get them I should get mine within a day or two

I bought my pulleys from UUC and had no problem what so ever. Got them in about 4-5 days with ground shipping.

I don't really care about that as much... I'm in love with the UUC System U sound, and I'll wait if I have to for that catback.

How did you like their pulleys?

i was initially going to get the uuc pulleys but they were on back order indefininetly so i went with eurosport pullies instead. they were only $15 more.

**Rooz** · 04-22-2005, 12:39 PM

lol, just rubb it in.....

**komodo** · 04-22-2005, 01:10 PM

I actually haven't gotten them installed yet. lol

I'm probably getting them and my xbrace installed in the next week or so.

Well, I called them today and asked them if they had finally gotten them back, they said not but that I should have the pulleys in my hands for sure by middle of next week. And if this time theya re bsing I 'll be hella pissed bcs I told them I had to go on this trip and that I wanted the pulleys on my car b4 that trip.....

Sad thing is that they can't really do anything bcs it's out of their hands, the Gov. agencies that has to iodinize (or however u spell it) them is taking for freaking ever.

**BaLAnCe17** · 04-26-2005, 11:26 PM

what happened to the gen 3....well it weighs more than the TSE and i donno about the system u, and uuc claims more hp, but no one knows how reliable dynographs are from companies lol. IMO the uuc is better too

Anodized.

Anodizing is freaking cool. Similar to electroplating, an oxide coats the metal and one of the more comon methods of anodizing, varrying the voltage varries the color. It also has a tendancy to reduce a metal's conductivity... so if you ever need to have an anodized piece of metal conduct, then sand off a piece where the wire contacts or whatever. Since this oxide coats the metal, it also prevents oxidation (rusting). The layer is MUCH MUCH thinner than any layer of plated metal can be. It works by being a certain thickness, roughly twice the wavelength of light that reflects off of it, which gives it it's color. So this crap's thin & lightweight.

Pointless post.
