Baffle plates inside the resonator sometimes come loose and vibrate. They tend to rattle or fizzle at about 1900 - 2000 rpm. It is annoying because it makes it sound like the car is falling apart, which is not true.
The cheap fix is remove [cut out] the resonator and replace [weld in] with a length of straight through pipe.
This changes the sound quality from the exhaust. To my ears it makes a flat hard blare and is hard to like.
Others think the SVX is too quiet, and they like the different sound.
You pays your money.
