Can't use anything that has baffles. Engines need back pressure, but in our case the turbo create all the back pressure the engine needs.

I find it hard to believe that a flowmaster will have more back pressure than the stock muffler. I do agree that it is not ideal though.

Have you see the size of the stock muffler? It is all sound deadening, but it is still most likely a straight through muffler.

I have seen the size, but maybe I will have mine off to look into it.;)

it sounds and looks good. i usually let my car warm up in the morning before driving (like 5-8 minutes). you should surely do that to help with oil consumption.
Owners manual actually says to not let it sit idle like that. It says it is better to start driving at low speed to warm it up. For me, it works out. I start it and start moving after 20 seconds, but I am basically idling out of the parking lot for the next minute or so, then another 3 or 4 at 25 mph. I am up to temp before the getting on the freeway.
