I'm gonna check on Dansk, however if the price tag difference is less than 500 euros, Im just gonna go for the PSE, I reckon.

Not everyone likes the PSE due to the way it sits. I really like mine, it was one of the handful of options i wanted in my S. It would make your car a bit more distinctive due to not as many car having this option.

To be honest, I'd prefer the PSE if the bypass pipes werent visible, but hidden behind the rear bumper, like this custom-made mod .
It's not only the way it looks, but my car is already fairly lowered due to the PSS9's, and I wouldn't want my exhaust to hit the pavement, every time I park my car in a lot...

I did a quick measurement my in garage. 7 3/4" from the bottom of the tubes to the floor. This is more than the clearance of my belly pans ( about 7 1/2" approx). These are measurements from my stock 02 box S. BTW, 18" wheels on g force tires (stock sizes). My guess is i'll have bigger issues before i scrub my pipes.

The problem is not when you try to drive over rough surfaces, I don't do this anyway.
But when you approach a curb in a parking lot on reverse, the first thing that will hit it, if there is not much clearence, is the exhaust.

I have a 2000 986s with the Dansk sport muffler (sausage style) and I get no resonance. I'm very happy with it, in fact I wish it was a tad bit louder. It did get a little louder as it broke in. I have desnorkled, K&N filter, ecu upgrade and no MAF issues or CEL. (Check Engine Light) Keep in mind I made sure my K&N was dried of oil before I put it in (I wrapped it in newspapers to draw out the oil for a few days prior to installation) No dyno numbers but I do feel a difference especially after 3000 rpm pulls much harder. Very drive able, my wife did not even notice any sound difference at freeway cruising speeds but when you get on it the sound is much more aggressive and deeper. Here is a pic of the muffler and easy to install.
