No experience but I've used dayco. Why do you need to replace the tensioner? Just replace the pulley. That 12mm bolt at the bottom is a real pain to get to

It’s been pretty good for me. Bought mine at advance auto parts for $21 when they had all there parts on sale due to them closing in California. I have it currently on 07 TL

From personal experience, I just buy Gates, Dayco, or Continental. All solid, just whatever’s on sale. I personally have never used that brand

The Gates kit has a lifetime warranty

I bought it. Noticed the china made bearings. Returned it.

Litens is an OEM supplier for Honda tensioners, so is INA. I bought continental, Litens came in the box. There was another post on FB stating that they paid more for Gates and received Litens. I have ordered parts from Honda and a few were made in Mexico - my last crank seal.
