Default Gearbox options for my new escos..

Hi, I just picked up an escort cosworth, the car has a new type Pete Doughty box in it which is only a year or so old and covered very little miles.

The car is mainly going to be used as a road car with the odd track day.

The box is just to damn noisy for me and don't think I can live with it to be honest. What other options do I have to either quietened it down or get another box? Are all uprated boxes this noisy? What sort of power do standard boxes handle? Thanks
