If you replace it with a straight pipe your car will produce lower torque at low revs, and we all know the SVX prefers to change up gears quick and runs at low revs most of the time.
My advice is to replace it with a cheaper aftermarket resonator. The Subaru one is way too expensive, particularly as we know they all eventually rattle, so it is not exactly Rolls Royce build.

I have the resonator delete and I can't really feel any lower torque than any other SVX I've ridden in.
