Between 2,000 ~ 3,200 RPM the resonance is EAR DEAFENING !!!!!
This might not be a problem on the freeway but believe me I was once stuck in a stop and go traffic jam for about an hour and by the end of it my ears where ringing (literally - as if I just walked out of a Heavy Metal concert)
I had a GHL for 1+ year and eventually sold it.
Above 3,200 RPM it sounds great - below it KILLS you!

P.S.: Some of the YouTube clips where you can hear a GHL might be from me ;-)
