There isn't a resonator on the stock exhaust of a '03 GT and all bends are mandrel bends. Crimped bends on a turbo exhaust will choke turbo spool up time. The stock exhaust is 2 1/4" OD. Not all aftermarket exhausts have a highway drone, either. If you are going to upgrade the exhaust go to at least a 2 1/2" catback exhaust with mandrel bends. If you opt to go with a muffler then the muffler has to be a flow through design. A chambered muffler will choke your turbo spool time and make your car slower. Remember, a turbo exhaust loves free flow.
