The glasspack is awesome in place of the resonator. I got mine from Autozone for $15 (it's the offset one), and the exhause shop charged $30 to install it. The sound is VERY close to my Borla.
I have a glasspack in place of my resonator also . I highly recommend doing it that way . It has a bit lower tone , no rasp , and not at all annoying at road speed on long trips .
My brother has a non-SVT (a '95 SE) with an SVT exhaust and a straight-pipe in place of the resonator & it sounds really boss . I wish my SVT sounded that good .
