Although I may could search and find a answer I am lazy so why does everyone want to replace the resonator with a muffler then replace the rear mufflers? Either cut the resonator and replace the rear mufflers or replace the resonater with a muffler and cut the rear mufflers off.

Either cut the resonator and replace the rear mufflers or replace the resonater with a muffler and cut the rear mufflers off. i'll give it a try  the center resonator has been shown to restrict exhaust flow and by removing it - or replacing with a high-flow muffler you can free up anywhere from 1-3 HP (not much, but it's cheap HP) - the rear mufflers aren't very restrictive but lots of folks like to either remove them or replace with a better sounding aftermarket muffler (i.e. Vibrant, Dynomax, Edelbrock, Magnaflow, etc) i'm probably going to do the Edelbrock 5503 and cut the rear mufflers and put some new tips on the back... (probably 3.5")

[b]DYNOMAX[/b] so what is the flow rate on the stock resonator? also - sound is a big different between the two, i've had dynomax before - sounded great on a V8, i'm looking for more of the "ferrari/porsche" sound on the SVT
