Ditto - I'm interested in the replies, although I wouldn't mind picking up a couple of HP...

Newsflash: the Dansk sport exhaust is the SAME thing as the Fabspeed. Fabspeed sources out exhaust from dansk. If you want loud get one of those. If you want really loud get a GHL or B&B. You wont lose Hp with any of those systems. Out of those mentioned the B&B is probably at the end of the pack in terms of quality. . The PSE exhaust isn't alot louder than a stock system....it's similar to the Dansk sport exhaust in loudness and it is the most expensive but has a nice tone. The GHL is the baddest boy in that group and very aggressive sounding. Hope this helps you decide but I would try someone elses before you buy.....can't return an exhaust.

I had the PSE before I switched to the Dansk unit. I would say the Dansk unit was a noticeably louder than the PSE, not similar

You forgot Remus. Quality product for a great price. I paid $660 from Brandywine Porsche. I believe they have since raised the price, because of their increase in popularity.
I would recommend this muffler to anyone. The fit and finish is excellent (install was easy) and the sound is intoxicating without being to loud. I had two guys this weekend at an autoX, with boxsters, ask who made the exhaust because they liked the way it sounded.

does the Remus exhaust produce resonance at 3k rpm? no loss of torque though, right?

i'll admit that i haven't heard them all so take my opinion with a biased grain of salt but i can't say enough about the b&b triflo exhaust. the note is extremely deep and throaty. if i get a chance i'll post an mp3 of my exhaust note...it's very similar to my buddy's ferrari 360 tubi exhaust. if you're close to chicago, you're more than welcome to drop by and hear it.

this is a clip of the boxster b&b, although mine for some reason sounds better than this (but i've never been behind my car to hear it either):

then go to fabspeed.com and watch the boxster exhaust video. in my opinion, the b&b sounds much louder, more aggressive, and throatier. but it all comes down to preference because you may not want that.

anybody with me?

For what it's worth here is a page that has sound clips of a remus on a 02 boxster, you will have to scroll down to the near bottom..

I am thinking of getting the Danks sports exhaust with the super sound tips but have noticed some negative feedback on resonance.

Would anyone who has one of these like to comment. Is this really a problem with the Danks exhaust.

thanks

Yes, I've the Dansk exhaust. Resonance is bad at about 2,500rpm. But I guess you'll get used to it eventually...

I got used to it after a while....

I say why even screw with muffler. You gain no hp and if you ask me the car is about right sound wise from the factory. I'm thinking headers and highflow cats from Dasnk + stock exhaust will give a nice hp gain plus no res?

Does anyone have a TechArt exhaust?
They're $1500 or so. I think I remember reading on the website that they have the valve that puts the exhaust through the mufflers until 4,000rpm, then it opens to a straight through exhaust. It seems like this would help greatly with resonance a lower rpms, plus for the wives out there who drive our cars, they won't complain about how loud the exhaust is.
