Our take on the Perrin Alternator Pulley Red Subaru WRX 22-26 / Forester XT 2014-2018

The Perrin Alternator Pulley is a lightweight 6060-T6 billet aluminum replacement for the factory alternator pulley on several Subaru turbo and flat-four models. It weighs about 0.20 lb, cuts rotational mass, and uses precision-machined grooves that work with OEM and aftermarket belts. It also replaces the OEM clutch-style pulley, which can fail and cause knocking noises, charging trouble and belt wear. It suits owners chasing quicker engine response or fixing a noisy, worn factory pulley; the gains are modest next to a tune or downpipe, and the anodized red finish is cosmetic.

About the Perrin Alternator Pulley Red Subaru WRX 22-26 / Forester XT 2014-2018

This is a Perrin alternator pulley in anodized red, made from 6060-T6 billet aluminum. It weighs less than the factory pulley, which reduces rotational mass. That helps improve engine response time, and the product is stated to increase throttle response, horsepower and torque.

The grooves are precision-machined to work with OEM and aftermarket belts. It replaces the OEM clutch-style alternator pulley, which can fail over time. That failure can cause knocking noises, battery charging issues, belt wear and jumpy belts. This pulley removes that future failure point.

Installation is estimated at 30 minutes, and installation instructions are available.

Questions and answers

Does it really add horsepower?
Gains are small. Most of the benefit is reduced rotational mass and quicker throttle response, not a big power increase.
Will it fix the knocking noise from my alternator?
If the noise comes from a worn OEM clutch-style pulley, replacing it with this solid pulley typically removes the knock and belt jump.
Does it work with aftermarket belts?
Yes. The grooves are machined to work with both OEM and aftermarket belts.
How long does installation take?
Perrin estimates about 30 minutes. You need basic hand tools and access to the alternator.
Which Subaru models does it fit?
2022-2026 WRX, 2014-2018 Forester XT, 2019-2022 Ascent, and 2021-2024 Legacy and Outback including XT trims.
Is a new belt included?
No. The pulley is sold on its own; reuse your belt if it is in good shape.
