Hey bro, you took a ride in an SVT for what, a few minutes? Why don't you try living with it on a day to day for months.. If you do a search, you'll find all these idiots raving about how great it sounds when they first get it done.. Then, a few months later, they're all complaining, and they end up with a resonator or glasspack to quiet it down.
While the initial sound may not be as loud as your Zetec (which I doubt, being that I heard your Zetec, and it wasn't that loud either - Starting my car when resonator-less would set off car alarms), the problem with the SVT is that it's a manual, with a nasty throttle hang.. So every time you shift, the revs hang, and the cabin DRONES like you wouldn't believe. And being that my commute put me in the car for roughly 2 hours a day, I couldn't take it after awhile, gave in after 4 months, when I started getting migraine headaches (no joke) because of the exhaust.
Believe what you want, but this is just what I said it was, fair warning. I've been on the board/list longer than most, and was probably one of the first people to do this stupid mod, thanks to the infamous Dan Squires.. People used to rave about his custom 3" SMA cat-less exhaust system. Then you saw them 3 months later cursing his existance, because it was louder than hell, and leaking like a mother. Among other things
