shhht:Uh, that's a big negative Ghost Rider:shhht.

To answer your question:
I am specifically referring to my two magnaflow 14" straight in/out 2.25"ID oval mufflers at the back weighing more than my two stock SVT mufflers. Other than the resonator, weight is definitely one good thing that the SVT catback has going for it. Raising the pipe diameter adds more metal.
I'm not sure about other aftermarket quality mufflers, but my magnaflows are very dense...they must be packed quite well, whereas the factory mufflers are not quite twelve inches and are definitely lighter. I think I measured them at around 11-11.5 inches and they are not quite 2" ID, maybe 1 15/16". They are just heavier, I dont have exact figures and it isn't an absolute law.

Maybe we should check if there were muffler changes from 99 to 2000 because mine were definitely light.
