dose it have bafflers?

oh. some guy told me they did one day
dont toot your own horn 2 much harry :laugh:
Stock resonator (all models) is just 2" I.D and multi-baffled. In other words a piece of sh~t!!! Replacing the stock resonator gains most of the power of a cat back system. (on a moderately modded setup!)dose it? well the exhaust doesn't, but the resonator does.
The svt muffler is kinda more like a super turbo, it has internal passages.

If I had to rank the exhaust restriction it would be:
Stock resonator
Crush Y-pipe (virtual tie for 1st)
Stock exhaust
Pre-cat manifolds
SVT mufflers
stock piping (2" O.D.)
SVT single piping (2.25" O.D.)
Wow, I had no idea the stock res was such a wretched little bastard! I've had a Magnaflow res in my garage for like 3 months now. So I ask of you:
1. If I were to install it, along with a Magnaflow hi-flo cat and two straight-through N1-style mufflers (real ones, not the cheap-ass $25 look-alikes on eBay), would that boost my HP any?
2. Would the fact that I have a K&N intake and an XCal2 change anything? Would these factors compound the performance gains?
3. I've ben wondering about getting a set of headers, but the Weapon R headers are no longer made, and someone said that the MSDS headers are actually slightly more restrictive than stock. :0 Any suggestions here?
What do most people on here replace their resonators with? Ive been reading mostly magnaflow/glasspack, any opinions on those?
and anyone have part numbers or links to where to buy those?
The infamous MagnaFlow resonator that everyone loves is part #10435 at http://www.justmagnaflow.com/

Some people have glasspacks here. I was under the impression that glasspacks are loud, raspy things intended mainly for old-school V8 dragsters and such. Does anyone know how they sound on an SVT?
Isn't there one in the sticky above? There are tons of sound clips at the bottom of the sticky:shrug:
Wow, glasspacks make some nice deep sound.
I still want to hear the sound of a magnaflow res.
Would that horrid rasp noise be gone if there were a Magnaflow res in place of the stock res (instead of simply sticking a piece of straight pipe in there)?
