Yup and I probly wouldn't go much bigger on a stock 2.3L. Something like 2 1/4 would probly do good. I replaced my 93' with a whole new 2" exhaust and deleted the pre-cat and felt very little difference except for highway speeds. Now it sound a little ricey with the high flowcat and turbo muffler

Those two are usualy the result of more cubic inches and a bigger cam. Try as you may, but it will be difficult to reproduce these types of sounds using a 4cl motor. Atleast not through out your power band that is. They may make a cam that could add a little rumble to your car but I really don't know much on 2.3L cams except the cams we both have are better than the old ones
The turn downs in my experiance did nothing but make a ton of noise loud enough for cops a 1/4 mile away to know I was comming

You don't need turndowns, just stick the muffler in there for now. I don't know about "deep rumble," try "being on the inside of a tin can being struck with a jackhammer." I'm sure you will procrastinate very little before getting the rest of the exhaust back on. 
That's a shame you stuck with the 2", ALL YOU NEED to upgrade to 2-1/4" is a peice of 2-1/4" pipe and have it welded to the old ball and socket joint. Don't say you don't wanna do any welding because you're gonna have to in order to hang that muffler without using baling wire.

Man I hate Flowmaster because everyone has them now days. Its like a two for one sell or a Blue Light specail down at K-Mart. But I would rather see you with Flows on than Galss packs. Glass packs are just plan sh@# in my book and will make you sould like crap. Man if you really want a ok sound/look go with the duel Flows with a "Y" pipe and chrome pony tail pipe tipes. Its against my better judgement but I'm sure you will be very happy

if you want a good sound stay with ONE muffler even with dual pipes, you aren't pushing enough wind to make dual flowmasters sound like anything but fart.
well i got it installed today, at idle is sounds verry nice but at higher rpms it can get loud and echo alot if you are beside a fence or soemthin, but nothing i didnt expect.
the reason my old muffler went to **** was because apparently my car backfired and blew my muffler up.
im just glad the guy installed it. he said it was unlawful for him to work on my car b/c it had to cats or some ****, so he had to charge me 40. but its the only place that would do it.
