Are these any good? I've heard they are noisy.
$24 sounds kind of cheap...

The gear drive that some hot rodders use are very noisy.
I think most straight cut gears are noisy.

I cant believe it is a well made gear drive for that price. I have seen first hand what happens when they come apart. Not a good place to go cheap.

Bill,

We discussed these gear sets awhile back.

I emailed the seller and they noted that they made two types noisy and quiet.

They couldn't tell me how noisy was noisy and how quiet was quiet.

Regards,
Rob
