Does nobody make a sporty sounding muffler for the Boxster that doesn't drone at 2-3000 rpm? I want a stronger sound than stock, but people claim most are too loud for road use or they drone terribly. Even the very expensive Borla or Fabspeed units drone badly. I read that the Dansk unit is pretty good, according to some people. How hard can it be - a couple of U-tubes and two muffler units????

I really don't have a noticeable drone on my TS exhaust/cat delete pipes and the sound is perfect, not too loud

Topspeed test pipes and manzo exhaust (ebay) absolutely sounds awesome, and not me just saying it. No drone, cost less than $500 and you definitely will not want to listen to your stereo anymore. You can shoot your wad on more expensive set-ups but you won't get anymore satisfaction, than the set-up I mentioned.

I am thinking if you want real sound you would need to get a new set of headers with 200 cell cats . my 996 has 200 cell cats and PSE and the thing sings all the right songs . I got the top speed setup with the cat delete on my boxster S , sounds decent but just not enough sound , A little to muffled in my opinion .
