Flowmaster has a reputation for having one of the worst flowing systems on the market. If you are looking for maximum flow, then you may want to consider something different whether it be a true dual system or a different catback.

The muffler is not the only restrictive part of the catback, the rest of the piping poses a hindrance as well. I personally think it would be a waste of money just to swap another muffler. I would just use what you have until you have the funds to replace the catback as a whole.

It'll be fine unless your making a lot power, or wanting a different tone.
