No need to replace the resonator. You probally read stuff about people who have replaced it for sound and maybe a little performance, but still no need. I believe the stock SVT resonator is a straight through design so going to a "performance" resonator will gain you no more than 2 to 3 hp. I just put on stock SVT exhaust on my se sport. It is still very quiet with no rasp, but it sounds a little throatier. I think it is a great mod for SE's , go with it!
why do anything to a contour? You get barley any gains... People do it cause they want to, the car sounds damn sexy with magnaflows plus its nice to say you have a mod.

He wanted to know if he had to replace the stock resonator to get rid of rasp, and I said no! I just explained that people replace the stock resonator more for sound that for performance, and personally I agree with you about the sound. That is why I am buying a magnaflow res!

Um... I have headers with stock SVT exhaust and it DOES rasp when it's cold at around 2500-3000 rpm. It did not rasp before I installed the headers.

k first off to set things straight,
not doing the svt exhuast for hp, doing it for sound (plus the exhuast is free, i just have to pay installation)
second, thanx for all the help, now my only question left is how much better would it sound with a magnaflow res over the stock res?
btw i think im gonna cut the tips short/ under the bumper, cus i dont like the look of them that much

i tought I read gutting the precats on svt's is what leads to the rasp a lot of the time.

Gutted pre-cats will also lead to rasp. When I installed my msds headers, I also installed a WR y-pipe and trubendz cat (not gutted). It is possible that what I'm hearing is drone and not rasp, but I had gutted pre-cats (waste of time) for about 6 months prior to installing the headers and stuff... and it did rasp/drone then too. I'd hope Canada is colder than here.... I think pretty much everywhere else is colder than Phoenix
