You think so? With the stock mufflers still in place would there honestly be a noticeable difference as long as I didnt go straight pipe?
Yes

What do most people on here replace their resonators with? Ive been reading mostly magnaflow/glasspack, any opinions on those?
and anyone have part numbers or links to where to buy those?
The infamous MagnaFlow resonator that everyone loves is part #10435 at http://www.justmagnaflow.com/
See here:

Some people have glasspacks here. I was under the impression that glasspacks are loud, raspy things intended mainly for old-school V8 dragsters and such. Does anyone know how they sound on an SVT?
Hmm I'm really torn between paying $20 for the Cherry Bomb 87505 or $70 for the Magnaflow. I like that the Magnaflow has a 2.5 core though.
Cherry Bomb = no. Plain and simple :laugh:
check my car
I used for a week. You can feel it only in low rpm, DON'T WORRY ON HIGHWAY, but sometimes, the car when is getting hot the sound is like a magnaflow muffler on the rear. I'm looking another way to get a better sound without tickets
magnaflow 22" resonator 10436 with stock svt exhaust.

If you want to go back tothe stock SVT mufflers I have a nice low mile set in the classifieds.If you want to go with the Magnaflow #10435, PM me. I took mine off and it's in the garage.
Glasspacks are not overly loud and raspy. My SVT with the stock mufflers & glasspack sounded great, had a nice "rumble" to it and I had no rasp. It is louder than the Magnaflow set up (rear mufflers) though.
I'm still kicking myself for changing out the stock mufflers to Magnaflows.
My daughter has a SVT exhaust with a glasspack on her SE, sounds great. She always has someone asking if "that really is a Contour" and saying "that car sounds great".
It's really a matter of opinion. I'm truly disappointed in the Magnaflow exhaust system on my SVT. While it does sound nice, I prefer it to be louder.
I've told about five people to get a glasspack and keep their stock SVT mufflers, each one of them have been very happy with the results.
BrApple has a "Cherrybomb" on his SVT.
While you may think it's funny, it sounds good.
Before I had the Magnaflow mufflers put on, as I said, I ran stock SVT mufflers with a glasspack (system was on the car when I bought it) and not one person said they didn't like the sound. In fact, I got plenty of compliments. Even people who say they aren't fans of the glasspack have said my car sounded good. They never asked what I was running and I never told them.Maybe I should have.
