Default Straight cut gearbox on the road (whats it like)

Hi guys, just wondering what a quaife big tooth straight cut box is like in a road car. I know very little about them and would like some advice from people in the know.

Speak to Mike Rainbird though as he has one and uses it on the road in his Escort which is fully trimmed.

They are awesome though but does transform the car from road to race IMO.

That is loud alrite m8, but like yours its not an everyday driver so i think i could live with it. Also it would cope with as much power as i aim to get from the car, dont wanna go crazy just in or around the 420-450 mark when funds allow. Always wanted one and its going for right money so im thinking its worth a punt, cheers for posting the vid yours sounds awesome...
