A little bit. It sounds better, but not much louder. Get a magnaflow res for a better sound. Not to expensive either. Some people prefer to go with a glasspack instead of the magnaflow res but that is a whole other discussion.
For Sale - 96 Tour Sport 2.5L MTX with SVT Exhaust, pre 98 trunklid with newer Contour Sport spoiler instead of lip spoiler, newer Contour sport rims. Newer paint job. Brand new floor mats. Rust Free! PM me for details and pics.

stock SE exhaust is terrible, im sure with SVT exhaust the car would sound way better.

The stock SVT exhaust, on an SVT or a non SVT, has a beautiful tone. It is a bit quiet, but beautiful.
There seems to be two reasons for changing or removing the resonator. One of them is for a louder tone. The other is because the resonator is slightly smaller in diameter than the rest of the exhaust so it is a bit restrictive. There is a performance improvement, but not a huge one, from removing it or from changing it to something less restrictive.
I would suggest that you install the thing and see how you like it. You can always modify it later. Mine is still stock, and I really like the tone. It sounds nice without attracting the wrong kind of attention.
My neighbor installed an SVT exhaust on his 96 SE with auto trans. He did not modify the SVT cat back. He did gut the pre cats and modify the Y pipe though. At first his car sounded just like mine. Now it is a bit louder, but not overly offensive. Personally, I would not like it any louder than his car, but it is all a matter of personal taste.

yeah and at the top of third the SVT is still pullin ghard because of the heads/cams and a normal SE is falling on its face after 5k rpm ... off the line it is a drivers race, hit the upper rpm and the SVT will walk away from a SE, I know this first hand ...

Agreed, the powerband in excess of 5k rpms on my SE is more like a slow climb than anything. Really it does nothing for a race in the quarter mile.
