I have a Pete Jackson 'quiet' gear drive in my Pantera and I *love* it.
It's never given me a bit of trouble, and it really is quiet. It does make a
noise; if you listen hard for it, you can hear it, but most passengers don't
notice it until I point it out. You can hear it a bit better standing outside
the car, but even then I have to point it out to people, and then they nod and
say, "Oh yeah, now I hear it".
It gives the engine itself (not the exhaust) a very sophisticated sound, not
unlike a Lamborghini in some respects. It sounds like a very, very quiet
supercharger drive.
Highly recommended. :>)
