I've got a straight pipe, no muffler, on my turbo 617. You can't tell it's unmuffled. Adding a flowmaster would sound horrible - those things are designed to make noise, and they add backpressure too. On my turbo 280Z I replaced a 2-1/2" chambered muffler (like a flowmaster) with a 3" baffled muffler, it got quieter and spooled faster.
