Anyone have a recommendation for good sounding, high flowing mufflers for an SVT?

I have a 2.5" full custom exhaust with dynomax ultra mufflers. It also had a resonator, which I decided didnt sound good and couldnt be helping my performance any, so I removed it yesterday and replaced it with a straight pipe. I guess the mufflers and the resonator were matched up or something, because the car sounds horrible now -- kinda like a really loud bi-plane with some bullfrog tossed in for good measure. Oh, and I managed to destroy the resonator in the process of removing it.

I like the brullen tips, I could get the muffler and the tips, but I think its only a 2.25" inlet, I want a 2.5". Also, a bit quieter might be good if possible.

Any suggestions?

(besides could I stop posting all my problems here )

I don't think it was that your mufflers are matched up, everyone with duratecs seem to hate the sound of the car with no res...put a magnaflow res in there...then maybe straight pipes from there on back?

Magnaflows, they sound sweet
part # 10426 for the res
part # 14616 would probably do ya good for the mufflers.

Ok so people like magnaflow huh? Kole or some shop locally I saw carries magnaflow, so Ill wander over there and see what they say. I can probably get it cheaper online though and just stick em on myself.

Am i the only one on here with flowmasters? I gots the original 40 series and they sound VERY nice . At idle the just rumble very noticebly. And when you want to open up the duratec, well lets just say theres a major improvement in sound. Performance wise i dont think theres any gain. I have just removed my res and put on two flows. Sounds great. Thats my opinion anyways. Hope your mufflers work out, which ever ones u decide on.

it really depends on the sound you're looking for! Get together with some local guys (have a meet) and listen to their cars...

personally, I liked my Edelbrock 5503 resonator... louder than stock, but not annoying (read: minimal drone)

I kept the stock mufflers since they flow decently... replacing the resonator definitely gives you more 'headroom' in the middle/upper range so - find a sound you like and go for it!!
