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.

Re: Ravin Z55 muffler (Needed)

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?

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

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.

Re: Ravin Z55 muffler (Needed)

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.

Re: Ravin Z55 muffler (Needed)

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?
