kenne bell blowers..how are they??

Save yourself the trouble and don't buy a Kenne Bell. You'll probably regret it as I did.

You see, I owned a Kenne Bell blower for over four years and 70,000 miles. The first head unit made noise and had to be returned. The second through fourth head units had internal oil leaks and had to be replaced.

Because of the Kenne Bell blower, I also had to replace 3 power steering pumps and 2 A/C pulleys. This is because the blower shared the same drive belt as the accessories. Remember, blowers require a lot of power to turn, and that makes a lot of drag(tension) on the belt. That's why I was losing accesories left and right.

That didn't happen with my old Paxton, or my ATI.

Send me a private message if you want more reasons why this blower is not worth it.
