Will Flowmaster hurt too much?

Im doing a front mount turbo build and my T/A came with a flowmaster setup on it. Will the flowmaster cause an issue?

Check it. Flowmasters on my blown truck had 4psi of pressure between headers and mufflers. As loud as those suckers were, I was thinking back pressure would be minimal. Not so. Magnaflows had less, but still too f'n loud. Corsa seems to be the only muffler that's able to quash exhaust noise and still flow well.

Flowmasters are awful!!! We have seen 30whp loss through a flowmaster on N/A cars.
