So after 8 years of service on my 993, my Carnewal RSR mufflers need replacing as they're rotten.

I've been recommended to go with Dansk Sport ones (https://www.design911shop.com/Exhaust-Muffler---Silencer-Sports-with-T-V-EEC-approval-Porsche-993/prod138147/) this time and am tempted for the extra longevity of stainless steel.

BUT, I'm worried they won't sound as good as the Carnewal ones did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HzC5cbTkcQ > The video of the Dansk Sport ones on the Design911 site is very underwhelming.

There's also the Dansk very loud ones: https://www.design911.co.uk/fu/prod1681/Porsche-99... , and the video of these on the Design911 site appears to actually be of a 996 according to the title which is useless.

Which of the Dansk ones sound closest to my Carnewal RSRs, does anyone know?

I've got the Dansk super sound (the loud ones) on my 996. In my opinion they are too loud. They don't drone on the motorway and they do make a nice noise but it's just a bit shouty when driving around at low speeds. I have heard the sports (quiet ones) on another car and they sounded pathetic. Easily as muted as stock.

Quality is a big issue with them. I can't imagine the 993 ones are that different to the 996 ones in terms of construction or materials. There have been more than a few 996 owners that have had the Flexi's rust through, the brackets tend to rust and a few have actually had the internals collapse.

The ones on my car were fitted by the dealer before I bought it iso thankfully not my money. If it was my money I'd get Topgear or if there's a spyderperformance valved option for the 993 then that.

I know i know, it's just that shipped to the UK from Belgium they're like £1,250 after taxes etc (I can't do an exchange as my old ones are too shagged), so the Dansk option is significantly cheaper

Another +1 for the Carnewal RSRs, just installed a set recently, Gert is a pleasure to deal with as well!
