I have one of these I've yet had a chance to test. From what I've read on here and youtube, it's not much louder than stock. It's also only 3 lbs lighter than a stock muffler. Sound is important to me too, but I want to loose that boat anchor muffler too. I'm half tempted to cut it open to see if there's any weight I can remove from it.

My 3.6 has headers, cat delete pipes and a GHL twin can muffler. Love the sound of the muffler but it is a little loud and does have drone at 2400 - 2800. I have been thinking about what to do as I don't want to quiet it down too much and don't want to add much weight. I finally decided to add two resonators ( one each side ) before the u-bends leading into the muffler. Took it to a local Porsche shop and they took some measurements and we're going with 12 " overall length Vibrant brand . They came in today I'm dropping off the car tomorrow morning. So I'll chime in tomorrow with the results but I think it will take off just enough edge/resonance to make my exhaust perfect.

It sounds much better and louder than stock unless you open the stock muffler up and cut a hole in the first baffles at the intakes. That allows the exhaust gases to go straight back to the outlet instead of winding through the other baffles. I had that done to my OEM and it was a toss up on sound but the Dansk looks much better and I like the dual tips instead of the whale blow hole.
