Hi, I own a 98.5 Contour SE Sport, I have the 2.5L V6 with the mtx. In about 2 weeks I am going to be removing the stock muffler and the resonator, and replacing each with a Dynomax™ Ultra Flo™ Welded Universal Muffler(so there will be 2 ultra flos) Would I still be getting enough back pressure? How do you think this will sound, and how loud? I just want to make sure I am not going to have issues with this stuff before I order and install it. Thanx.

don't know about those particular mufflers, but it shouldn't be too loud with 2 mufflers in there. You should feel a difference in power, too.

General rule of thumb for your exhaust:
1 muffler = rasp and resonance, enjoyed by some CEG folk, reviled by others.
2 mufflers (in series, ie for a single exhaust) = good, rich tone without the buzz.
Sounds like you are on your way to a sweet exhaust.

Have to disgree... One muffler in my system.. NO rasp whatsoever.. It's all in the system.. not in how many mufflers. Dom

Dom He's right. It depends on WHERE the MUFFLER is placed, and what the total volume of the muffler is, that determines the sound and noise attenuation you get. A "larger" muffler (bigger than you standard "bullet") placed in the position of the stock resonator will kill all rasp and drone and give you a good sounding exhaust. My pic for the resonator replacement is the stainless steel Edelbrock RPM series muffler. EDL-5503 is the part number.
