I have this one below. It is throatier than the stock exhaust and has no drone at all. Really like the exhaust tips too. It's not as loud as a bypassed exhaust, but I'm fine with it.

Thanks again to all,

The exhaust on the car now is a EuroCup GT with EuroCup GT cats. It's too loud and the cats are knackered, hence the replacement http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/65506-droning-what-i-cant-hear-you.html was really useful though... I suspect the issue with mine is the 'twin set up' as described later in the thread. See image below.

Thats the 'next one up' on the loudness scale so now torn between the Sport Sound and yours Don't have a video do you?

Ok, you'll be disappointed in the regular sound version if you think that one is less loud than mine. My super sound version sounds like the below at revs. There's a nice tone to the exhaust with less of that whine at wind down from revs that I don't like about the stock exhaust. It is not a loud exhaust though by any means compared to the bypassed ones at low revs. It won't be a good choice if you are looking for attention while driving through local neighborhoods. For me, it's a nice choice that I'm happy with because my wife doesn't complain about it (she did when she rode in my friend's Boxster with the GHL).

Compare to stock exhaust which sounds like a washing machine IMO:

Thanks for this,

Yup the one I have now is too loud / boomy / drones at speed - I just recorded it at start up and its 113DB. It sets car alarms off if I rev it in a multi storey. I don't want that.

Stock, on the other hand, is too quiet / dull, agreed. So I am looking for something with a decent growl, louder at idle but not obnoxious, and no annoying drone. Decided it will definitely be the Dansk, so now just too choose between a Sport Sound or Super Sound...
