Re: Ravin Z55 muffler (Needed)

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

Re: Ravin Z55 muffler (Needed)

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.

Re: Ravin Z55 muffler (Needed)

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.

Re: Ravin Z55 muffler (Needed)

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.
