Default Flowmasters on neon?

Has anyone ever put flowmasters on a neon, how well did it turn out. what are the advantages over stock. i need to replace my muffler on my 95 sohc neon and stock will cost me 120 installed and flowmaster will cost me 150 installed. I know that stock would probably be quieter but flowmasters should get more power and probably better mpg. is that correct? if i go with the flowmasters, if i go with the flowmasters there is no advantage of going with the dual exhaust as far as performace wise just looks correct, so for 80 dollars more it is worthless, correct. what about dohc exhaust is that better than flowmaster or is that same performance-wise.

uhhhh when you open up the exhaust to a certain amount it will help your car yes mpg wise i dunno but you gain like 3 or 5 h.p which in terms could help your mpg so there is tht answer will if be that much greater.... No is it worth it when it's only 30-80 bucks more ..... if you like the sound yeah

I've read that the DOHC muffeler flows alot better. Why not just pull one of them from a junkyard and save some beer money?
