Best Muffler

[BlazerBoyLT98]

What is the best muffler to go with if Ravin is not availble? Could people list what they own for mufflers and what they think of the sound? Links to sound clips would be great! BlazerLT, love the sound of yours, unfortunetly it is very hard to find a midas dealer that can get a ravin muffler and some actually tell me that they will not just sell me a muffler so a custom place can install it and bend the pipes for a dual exhaust. So if you have a flowmaster or a magnaflow or a ravin or whatever else is out there please let me and the rest of know what you think. I am not replacing my muffler for the hell of it either, my muffler is shot and if I am going to spend the money it might as well sound better too. Thanks everyone really appreciate it.

I've seen some posts about Ravins not being made any more. I was at Midas yesterday and they haven't heard of any supply problems and have plenty in stock. They did say that lots of people are getting tickets after installing the Z33's.

Weird, when I call I get oh sorry I can't get you one or oh sorry we can't just sell them without installing them. Just a pain

I don't need a new muffler yet but I might get it put on just in case the rummors are true!

Was that a dig?

Get the one with the most straight through flow.

Flow40's have a whole bunch of deflectors that slow the flow down and hog performance for sound.

I have heard that. So what are my other options? I have heard the magnaflow and I think they just don't have much sound at all, just a little louder then stock, doesn't seem worth it to me.

I was just being silly, I was commenting on how I wrote I need it done and how you wrote I don't need it done but want to do it anyway. I was just joking no worries.

No sweat I thought I missed something. I was planning on replacing it when the muffler went but I might speed up the timetable on it so I don't miss out on a cheap, great-sounding and free-flowing unit!

I hear yea. I just want to know what people have on there rides and how they think they sound

I know what I have on my ride, and I know how it sounds - I will have sound clips up sometime this weekend. It was a sub $100 setup to get too. The question is, do I make the recordings all professional like, raw digital all the way, or just dump what I got... Hmmm, I think I will make a production of it.

I heard Flo-Pro are good.

I just had a flowmaster exaust system put on mine a while back and it sounds good. It has a low metalic rumble at idle and when you get on it it reminds me of an old Z28 Camaro. It doesn't blast your ear drums when your driving but when you stomp the gas people turn there heads and usually look surprised that its a Blazer and not a sports car.

If you want good sound with a low price just get a drill and put a hole or two in your muffler right where the muffler and exaust pipes meet. Should you hate the sound you can just replace the muffler which you said you might do anyhow so no loss. If you like the sound then problem solved. I have never done it for sound purposes but I have had to put holes in my exaust before because of low flow and it made the car sound a bit louder without having cops knocking on my window with a ticket for disturbing the peace.

Just an idea you might want to try.

Naw, having my exhaust leaking on purpose would sound like crap.

There is a sound difference between a leaking exhaust and a good sounding muffler.
