well, it was fun looking up what the benefits are for straight cutting gears, but everything i read said they don't recommend it for daily driving, and they are a pain to use on the street.
it is interesting to have because i haven't heard of a tc with one of these yet, cept for maybe the scion tc drag team, also, i never realized that the high pitched whining noise was the transmission and not the engine, facinating.

That will diffinately make your car more like a GIRL. It will DEFFINATELY WHINE a whole LOT MORE when you re PUSHING her through the GEARS. 
But all in all, I dont think I can deal with that all that extra NOISES. Especially on a daily.

Loud as hell
Annoying
Tough to do
Abusive on your drivetrain
Irreversible
Marginal benefit unless raced 100% of the time
.... yeah, sorry... I don't think it's a good idea at all.
Now if you were trailoring the Scion to and from events, and JUST racing it.... then go for it.

in a race car yeah but in a street car that we drive me crazy. our gears aren't that load . i thought about putting one of the our dog box in my street car to se how bad it would be but never got around to it.
