couldn't tell you if aftermarket ones are actually better but hondas belt is a knowquantity, a lot of people have used them and have experience with them. people know that they're good for 90-100k, if you up hps, and drive hard then its best to change at 60k. stuff like that besides if you buy your honda belt at hondaautomotiveparts.com, its 35 bucks, can't be too much more expensive than an aftermarket belt with unknown properties.

I don't normally buy OEM parts for maintenance. But when I had my TB and waterpump replaced I made sure to use OEM parts. I just felt more comfortable using OEM parts and also because the TB isn't something easily replaced.

OEM Honda...nothin beats oem quality proven time and time again, my friend uses a Toda belt, great piece but 180 bucks, oem is best IMO

Toda is made out of kevlar and it's twice as strong then OEM belt.

I run nothing but the OEM Honda belt on our race car. They are easy to get and have never had a problem with them.
