Though a division of magnaflow, flowmaster has a distinct reputation in the tuner community of being a cheap "fart-box" sounding exhaust mostly seen on noise polluting hondas and cavaliers. I can't speak from experience specifically on the mini app, but I can for others. Their construction is poor, it's loud and raspy, and the sound you'll get is something I can assure you will not like. There are numerous exhausts out there worth buying that's competitively priced with flowmaster.

Look to magnaflow, uuc, etc...

I agree completly, and dont forget the resonation...ohh the resonation. I have run flowmasters on a couple cars and couldnt get rid of them fast enough. Sound is bad and did I mention the resonation.
