Default My squeeking sound?! S/C help!

Alright, my stillen system never made a sound until I got the belts changed a couple of months ago and ever since it has had a squeeking sound. Now I know you're already thinking it's the belts... but im not so sure it is.

The reason I dont think its the belts is because I've put belt dressing on all of them.... and because I've had previous cars with belt squeek problems (not s/c but belt squeek none-the-less) and know what belts sound like. It sounds more like it might be one of my pullies because its an almost metalic squealing squeek. I cant seem to isolate it either. I tried one of the idler pullies I thought it was and pulled it off and WD-40'd it and put it back on and the squeek was gone for about 10 minutes and now its back.

Would gatorback belts fix this (I have gates belts on now I believe)? Should I just take it back it and let the shop deal with it? What do I do? I feel like a dumbass driving around in a nice car squealing all over the place. Thanks for any and all help!

in front of the idler for the serp belt that goes from fake waterpump to the jackshaft there is a small dustshield. try removing JUST the dustshield and see what happens.
