Whipple belt tensioner replacement
I think my tensioner is going out. I hear there is a Borg Warner replacement part number cheaper than getting from Whipple. Anybody ever heard this or know the part number?

Maybe a Dayco part number 89446. Can anyone confirm?

Do you have the newer 10 rib tensioner that whipple is giving with their kits now. I don't because I have an older kit but seems to be a really good replacement if you don't have that one now.

No I have the old one as well. For $60 and easy returns I went a headed and ordered the one above.

do you know if the new style tensioner is a direct fit over the old one? I was told you need the new bracket also?

So to know for sure but from the looks of the 2 parts you would need a new bracket.
