All it is is a muffler. You can get other mufflers that flow the same or better.

That's correct. You need a cat-back exhaust, such as the Greddy SP, Mugen, Apexi N1, Tanabe, etc.

Flowmaster is good if you have, say a MUSTANG, CAMARO or FORD EXPLORER

A good high flow muffler on a domestic will be a good high flow muffler on an import
As far as airflow is concerned motors are motors. The only thing a catback for 500+ gives you is mandrel bent tubing. This is a benifit but IMO if you upsize the pipe from the cat to the muffler 1/2 in. from a 500+ catback system and put a quality high flow muffler on the end of it you should get just as much benifit for $200-$250. Just my SWAG (Scientific Wild *** Guess).
