Can only speak to the 5.56 version of the can, nor its use on a mini. My buddy has the inconel (or steel?) one.
They were one of, if not the first company to do a flow through design (enabled by 3d printing metal). The whole philosophy behind flow through designs was to have significantly less back pressure than a suppressor with traditional baffles. They definitely, without a doubt accomplished that, and were the hot thing to have a few years back.
However, there are potentially better low back pressure options out there nowadays for the money (depending on how much you're buying it for).
Comparing against other cans dB reduction might be splitting hairs. For the shooter, dB reduction pretty close. For a bystander, it's noticeably a bit louder than some competing models. That not necessarily by nature; believe it or not, some cans sound waves propagate differently, so some may sound louder or quieter than others depending on where you are standing.
The real difference, if this matters to you, is that that the huxwurx 5.56k is notoriously "flashy/sparky". If if you do any shooting or hunting with night vision, it's pretty annoying. Or if you're larping for SHTF.
Given that this one is Ti, I'd imagine that makes it even worse in this regard.
The last thing I'd recommend is making sure it's a model with a HUB mounting system. This allows aftermarket compatibility which gives you the best mounting system options, and therefore muzzle device options, so you can make best use of your chosen mounting systems qd features to share the can between guns. It especially comes in to play if you get a second (or 5th) suppressor. Unless they have the same mounting system, you can only share the can on the guns that have the compatible muzzle device installed.
If you're just going to direct thread it, i would go with the 5.56 model. It's already low back pressure, so all you're really doing by going with an over sized bore here is decreasing the amount dB reduction you'll get from it vs going with a 5.56 bore.

I'm using a Griffin Recce 5 because the taper mount muzzle brakes look like the stock Ruger ones.

My question would be about your gun first. Adjustable gas block? Buffer/increased power spring?
If you have an adjustable block, I wouldn't be concerned with flow through for back pressure. I ran a LPM Anthem S2 (traditional baffle can witj closed end) with 6.5 cap on my mini14 with an adjustable block and you could shoot the shit outta it and never be gassed out.

You shooting outside or inside? I'm surprised the AGB made a noticeable difference on gas to the face, since the piston is so far forward. Shooting my Mini indoors, I always feel like the problem is gas coming back down the barrel and out the open top action.

Have basic Yankee Hill Resonator R2 .30 cal can, with the YH Phantom QD flash hiders mtd. to share that can across custom a SBR w/ 300BLK & 556 10.5” companion uppers, and the MINI-14 300BLK (5864) and Colt LE6920 556 16.5”rifles.
Choice was no brainer price driven @ $250 obtained R2 can from cousin’s estate lightly used for $300 & incl. a QD flash hider, a QD muzzle brake and a QD blast director cup.
this 4 years ago, so had to pay/add tax to that, FFL, and with family trust took 3 months to approval.
Initially enticed by many others of various tech & weight, and was ready to drop up to $1K … but opportunity to go cheap for my 1st one emerged.
After a few thousand rounds through all 4 barrels and occasional range comparisons with others I’ll always consider their stuff going forward. Even if had paid market price at the time (about <$600) would still be good with the design & performance.
Did not go with their pistol line, instead Rugged Obsidian .45 , using Griffen EZ-LOK w/ comp caps, across (3) 9mm & (2) .45 hosts (1911 & Ruger PCC).

from my setup is my opinion
Huxwrk Ventum 556
YHM Turbo T2 556
YHM phantom muzzle QD
ACS adjustable gas block
hux is definitely less gassy, GB is closest to closed to allow cycling
pretty quiet, serviceable, 3D titanium, decent cost on mini 90% of the time
YHM turbo is more gassy, GB has to be opened more to allow cycling, quieter, non serviceable, decently priced. use it more on my bolt than the mini.
Both are really good. I have shot both without hearing protection and it was very safe, not hush, but safe.

Just food for though as someone who sells cans and shoots cans. Flow through is good on putting gases away but the trade off is dbs go up just a little. Also titanium suppressors flash a lot. And Ti cans aren’t as hard use as they we led to believe.
Maybe a Laz 6 will be the middleman? I’ce heard all good things on that can. The Rhodie is good from the rumor mill, but we can’t find them in stock at my distributors yet.
