Ravin Z55 muffler (Needed)

I have been considering the ravin z55 muffler since it sounds so great but I can't get any in the midas locations in my area, they were all discontinued, none on ebay either. Does anyone have a ravin z55 muffler for sale? If not what would be the second best option for a muffler, I don't want the muffler to be so loud I get a ticket but id like for it to have a nice rumble to it. Need one for cheap price. 1997 Blazer LS 4dr 180,000.

From what I have heard, Vortex took over the design.

Check here for the same muffler construction.

Wow blazerboy still rocking it.

Can't get to myspace from work anymore so I have more time for this now ;)

So which one do I need, V-baffle, classic, which size pipe and what is the inlet and outlet? My blazer specs are on bottom, if it would be easier a part # would be great Im really serious about getting it. Are the vortex the best choice or is there another i should look into?

2 1/4 center in , 2 1/4 offset out.

Anyone tried the Maremont Cherry Bomb Turbo #87705? $44.60 to your door, same manufacturer as Vortec. Their best selling performance muffler.

Absolute shit.

Pretty strong opinion there LT. Care to elaborate as to why you feel so strongly?

Picture a low grade steel chamber stuffed with fiberglass.

All for sound and nothing for power.

OK, fair enough. Now I'll really go out on a limb. Same site, Eliminator Turbo #87751, looks to be a better construction and design, CHEAPER YET. $31.83 to your door. I have the original muffler on my Jimmy and will keep it as long as it lasts. I'm just trying ot help this fellow find some economical alternatives.

2 1/4 center in , 2 1/4 offset out.

Will any universal muffler with these specs fit?

I couldn't find a ravin, flo-pro, or v-force anywhere, I even called about 20 places literally. I might just get flowmaster because im sick and tired of looking for a muffler. Which kind of flowmaster is the closest sounding to the Ravin Z55, 40 series, 50 series?

And whats the difference between the Ravin Z55 and vortex?

Some have recommended duramax. I don't know how they stack up though.

Dynomax?

Duramax diesel is good but Dyno-max muffler I dont know

Dynomax?

They sell them at Autozone and Advanced Auto Parts.

Try Ebay for a Flo-Pro.

So which kind of flowmaster is the closest sounding to the Ravin Z55/would sound best on my blazer, the 40 series or 50 series?

And whats the difference between the Ravin Z55 and vortex?

Dont go with a Flowmaster, they really restrict flow do to the chambering and baffles.

Vortex is practically the same as Ravin.

I think they bought them out.

Just to let everyone know, on the 1997 LS blazer the muffler needs to be an offset inlet and center outlet, not the other way around.

I just got my new muffler and against LT's warning I got Flowmaster. I have never been so happy and so satisfied with an add on to my truck. The sound is amazing and I have no regrets. The throttle response is also way better. But the best thing of all was how much I paid for the muffler with installation, $70. I got the muffler for $70 which was originally $100 and the installation was free. I am a student at an automotive school and my instructor gets extremely good discounts and I didn't have to pay tax on top of that. The installation was free because I had a friend help me put it on during class. The old monster of a muffler was twice the size of the new flowmaster muffler so I had to do some adjustments. I don't know how to record soundclips of it or know if I have any device for recording it, so if anyone has suggestions as to what I can use to record the sound I will get the clips right up. I definately recommend the flowmaster to anyone with a blazer.
