Dansk, Gemballa or Cargraphic Exhaust - Feedback required

I'm looking to change my stock exhaust to something with a better/stronger noise. I have investigated this so far and have reached the following results.
1) Official Porsche Sports exhaust, positive point, it's Porsche. Cost with switch £1,900, without £1,500.

2) Going to an independent Porsche garage, they have offered, the following :
Dansk - £830
Gemballa - £1,200
Cargraphic - £1,100

I have heard the Official Sports Exhaust by Porsche and it sounds alot better (more oof) but I haven't got a clue about the sounds of the others. Cost is'nt an issue, as I will be holding onto the car - I think.

I can remember coming across a site with some sound samples when I first bought the car, can anyone shed any light on this or provide advice. I have spent a long time looking through threads and searching but could not come up with anything. Also Fabspeed doesn't seem an option, I know they are popular.

I assume my warranty would be okay ?

Thanks.

If I may ask, why have you ruled Fabspeed out? Fabspeed would be my recommendation.

Hi Jas

I picked up on Fabspeed reading through threads whilst seaching. But certainly within a good radius of my home, there is no dealer or specialist Porsche garage. Else the I probably would have gone this way, based on my readings.

Thanks.

Not to be ignorant but...

When I got my exhaust, I picked up the phone and placed the order. Came in a box to my door in just a few days. Took it to my Mechanic of choice and the rest is history
Thanks Stephen

Thanks Stephen.

I considered this but passed on this one as I would prefer to use someone who knows about Porsches and if there's a problem. I would be take it back immedialely, as for general mechanic's where I live they probably wouldn't want to touch it, in case they screwed up.

Hence being limited to just the 4 options.

Thanks Hardwaykao

I don't know what any of the sounds are like so I can't comment, other than the PSE.

That's why I'm looking for feedback, do you have the link please. I have since located a Fabspeed dealer in the UK but I want to listen first.
