Well, first off I wouldn't recommend revving your engine when it is cold. I always let any car get to operating temperature before making the engine really work.

Second off, I would get a strait through, although I can not say if it will solve your problem. Magnaflow would be my choice over flowmaster. I had a magnaflow on a previous vehicle and the exhaust was top notch.

im runnin !muffler and it does the same. just drive it easy until the temp gauge starts to move a little and then you can take the rpms up a little more.

Well, you'll have more issues in the future other then the exhust "cackling" if you keep driving it like that.

Do what the others have said; warm your car up before you get on it. This may be why it's like this now.
