Serpentine belt
I need to replace my serpantine belt.
I've seen some for $100 and others for $25. Is there a reason for the price difference? Is the quality very different or will I be ok with a $25 one?

I use the Napa belt which I believe is a rebranded Gates on my '00.

One thing that I have found is when tightening it the "Yeah that looks about right" method doesn't really cut it.
So I bought one of these:
New Belt: 180-200 lbs
Used Belt: 140-160 lbs
I always go towards the lower end of those specs above.
Oh and in case it matters there is a lifetime warranty on the Napa belt.
