perhaps you wuold be willing to demonstrate for us how and or why the stock resonator on the svt is not a significant bottle neck. i am going to withhold my opinion. i would like to hear yours, keeping in mind that not all stock exhaust systems are the same in terms of efficiancy.
No, no, no... it is clearly a restictive portion of the exhuast. I do NOT doubt that at all, I never have. What I am saying is that it is likely not "the" bottle neck, or in other words, not the single most restrictive portion of the stock exhaust system. Meaning there can only be one bottle neck in the system at one given time. I am of the opinion that the cats (both the pres and mains) as well as the Y-pipe joint are probably more restictive than the resonator. Therefore, my position is why remove the resonator when it is not the part (on a stock exhaust system) that is slowing down the gas flow. For example, if 50 widgets of gas can pass through the cats in one second, and 60 widgets can pass through the resonator in one second, removing the resonator will still only allow 50 widgets a second to exit the exhaust system...
