so - the weekend report for the Edelbrock RPM 5542 Resonator replacement...
had the resonator installed at Midas for $45, the 5542 is about 3 inches shorter than the stock resonator so some mods were done to get it to fit properly. it's a wide body muffler and it JUST fits perfectly in the exhaust well under the SVT...
the second the guy started the car everyone's head turned in the garage, they couldn't believe the sound! not at all ricey, just a nice American growl
so i reset my 'puter yesterday and took the SVT for a spin... HOLY COW!! i need to get a chip at this point, i don't remember hitting the rev-limiter so many times in one day! my car kept on pulling and felt like i could goto 7500rpm with no issues...
just so you guys know - i was the guinea pig, spent ~$180 getting a new resonator installed...(including the cost of the part)
so the part number for an SVT is the
Edelbrock RPM 5542 offset/offset Performance Muffler - it's ~$100 online, sounds good - no rasp just more "presence" inside and out - you can definitely tell it's no longer "stock"
