I'm looking for a new exhaust for the -6. I have an older 2-in, 2-out exhaust which looks like it was a 2-in, 1-out at some point but was modified by welding up the single outlet and adding two log center outlets under the bumper.

I've been looking at the "banana-stylIe" mufflers as well as the custom-style that uses a couple of tubes into a large single Magnaflow muffler.

Does anyone have any experience with M&K or another banana-style besides the stock Dansk replacement?

What about other custom alternatives?

I'm looking for a sporty sounding street exhaust.

Thanks for any replies, ideas.

Looked at all of the offerings out there for sound, aesthetic, price, etc. Narrowed it to Dansk 2/2 sport exhaust as sold by Patrick Motorsport with 57mm tips, M&K, and one out of Germany, and decided to try the Dansk through Patrick Motorsport at the end, figuring it would be easy to move on from for little lost $$ if I didn't like it.

Well, I love it. I don't know what they did, but my concerns about resonance after all of the stories I'd heard about vintage 2/2 sport mufflers were a non-issue. This exhaust simply looks right and sounds GREAT. Loud, but not ridiculous—and you can drive it pretty quiet if you want to. The idle is healthy, as is the low end, then it screams. Pretty quiet in the mid-range on part throttle, and very quiet in the mid-range off throttle. It's just about perfect, and has transformed the driving experience.

YMMV, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
