Knowing that this is an item that you replace every 40K miles, and knowing the importance (can you spell critical?) of this component, I would bite the bullet and buy the Porsche factory part.

I get my parts from Pelican and got the "expensive" one and I am very happy with it.

I haven't heard anything bad about the other manufactures, other then just personal preference. We offer the OE belt along with a few different options, for more information Click Here.

Hi barncobob, yes, we offer Genuine Porsche as well as Gates & Contitech for cars through '08 as you researched within our catalog. Which belt you go with is up to you but each will perform as required by Porsche within the service range of the belt. If you are planning to do this easy project yourself, check out our serpentine belt install instructions here.

Let us know what questions you have at any time.
