    What brand belt for Galant 2006?

    It is time for me to change the timing belt on my 2.4L Galant, i got around 80,000 miles, i got a quot from the dealership for $70 and $35 for 2 different belts (JUST THE BELTS, no pulleys). I thought that price was a little high and looked online. So far i have found...... GENUINE MITSUBISHI, GATES, AC DELCO, DAYCO, & CONTITECH.

    If i have to i will buy the "GENUINE MITSUBISHI" but i don't wanna spend that much UNLESS I HAVE TO, but at the same time i want a just as good or better quality belt (i don't want a cheap belt as i do not want my engine to blow on my long trips) Do you guys have any recommendations???

    Are you planning on doing the timing belt yourself? Buy OEM from oemmitsubishiparts.com, their price should be reasonable.

    Yeah I wouldnt skimp on the timing belt. Look at it like this, your going to save about $150 or so by buying aftermarket belt, pulleys and tensioners versus buying OEM geniune mitsu parts. Is $150 worth a higher risk of damaging your engine? For me it wouldnt be. The EVO guys who use gates belts are using the gates high performance belts that are like $150 not the gates belts they sell at autozone for $38.
