This belt is great. I don't expect my 1998 Buick to be totally silent, but the incessant squeaking of the belt was driving me insane. I tried all the quick fixes and mechanical tricks they suggested but nothing worked. Despite costing twice as much as the previous belt, it was certainly an amazing purchase. The squeal is completely gone now and it might just be a load reduction, but it seems like the engine could be more responsive as well. 10/10, Continental will be the brand I will buy for any future belt changes.
