Pros: Looks cool, some people like the noise, in high RPM applications they don't slip
Cons: Noise is incredibly loud. Pointless in street applications. Limits accessories usable on engine. Belts not available at every hardware store.

Hmm i think it is unusual. But i can't say good or bad noise.
Because you can't use power steering and ac. Also you can't mount the generator on the ac position. In spite of the higher wight.

Oh, there's also the thing about everyone assuming you have some monster supercharger from the noise, then the hood is opened and they see a 145 HP NA engine with a fancy belt.
The Gilmer setups I've seen in real life have actually been louder than the exhaust of the vehicle.
Wonder how much engine power is lost turning that big toothed belt?
