Have it cut out, and put a piece of straight pipe there, no ill effects at all!

what kind of cost goes into installing a straight pipe in for the resonator?

if the shop charges more then 40 bucks, take is elsewhere!

Many say that a straight pipe will lead to rasp, you can also replace the factory resonator with a muffler with a 2.25" diameter, straight through design. I personally used a glasspack instead, others prefer a magnaflow. Check out the exhaust clips thread to get your own opinion.

getsum111 is right on the rasp. i personally suggest cutting the res, replacing with a straight pipe then adding a magnaflo (M-11114)
good sound and not ricey at all.

You'll be able to hear it at Carlisle if you're going.

I did the Resonator delete and put in a 2.25" midpipe. Sounds good but beware your y-pipe or flex pipe might break...Mine did and it flutters and sounds poopy.

^Steph still has that SVT exhaust and glass pack on her Contour.
She gets lots of compliments on the sound.

It really does sound good that way especially if thats the only mod you do.

Once you touch any of the 3 cats. The sound changes dramatically.

I should add, my daughter has MSDS headers on her car with the SVT exhaust and glass pack.

Even before we installed the headers it sounded good. With the headers it now has a nice deeper tone to it and its louder.

i have msds headers and a 3" test pipe with a magnaflow cat to a cherry and a stock svt exhaust,

once i changed the cat i got a little rasp out of this setup, very little but enough that i want to change it, sounds like crap when cold. warm it has great tone though.

im thinking of using msds/bat y pipe to my 3" catted test pipe, a 3" pipe with a BIG magaflow resonator then splitting into 2.5" for the y pipe and having straight pipes out the back. i think that would sound awsome, and very loud.

or just downsize to the proper sized exhaust. that should change you note a bit too
