Default Thinking of a Flowmaster Muffler

I own a 01' Pt Cruiser, and as much as I love my little car, I'd like to add a few things to make it a bit more fun to drive. My other two toys have a nice exhaust note to them, but my Cruiser is so quiet.

First off, I do not want my car to sound like some Honda or Mitsubishi with a giant glass-pack hanging off its rear. Secondly, I do want a fake "dual-exhaust" set up which is nothing more then a single exhaust set up with two tail pipes hanging off the rear.

I like how the Flowmasters sound on my other car, and they're the dealta's so there isn't much of a interior drone although the car can be heard from across the neighborhood. Granted though, this car also has a V8, a big cam, and true dual exhaust; headers, two mufflers, two seperate pipes, etc. I'm afraid the same muffler, with my little 4-banger, isn't going to sound right.

I don't want anything super loud, but I do want to be able to hear it while driving. I know any performance gain will be hardly nothing, and the extra 2hp or so it might give me isn't going to bring my car from very-slow to kind-of-slow, so I don't really car about that. I noticed Flowmaster has a muffler made for smaller engines and was wondering if anybody has tried that. I'm not going to waste my money on any cat-back system either; the car already came with exahust piping from the factory, and a bigger diameter isn't going to make my car fast.


I've read on here where people have said "Yeah, my flomasters sound great!!!", but I need more info. What kind of flowmaster is it, how bad is the drone, does it get louder the higher you rev it?? Is it a deep tone?? Deep for a 4banger?? etc. Thanks in advance!!!
