ravin muffler

ccrtw88 · #1 10-31-2005, 08:09 PM

Just got a z33 installed on my 99 Blazer LT a few hours ago at a local midas. Only one out of the 7 or so mida's here had ravins anymore. Was kinda of worried that the z33 might be to loud but it sounds really good and not near as loud as i thought it would be. Paid 67$ for the muffler and installation! Guess the mechanic was in a good mood today. Gona try and put some sound clips up tomorow for yall to hear.

For sure! Need to hear it!

You are ballsy going for the loudest one. Mine is the Z55 and is quite loud at times.

I was quote $250 for the Z55 on mine cause it was a custom install. I guess custom is considered hanging the muffler and installing a straight filler piece. I called him a dumb ass and hung up.

Go call. Muffler shops lately are getting as bad as used car dealerships.

Screw the customer for as much as possible.

hey guys, yesterday (halloween I got mine too) the installer and manager both said that Vortex, Ravin's replacement is no-where near as good as Ravin. This is a s-10 pu 2.2l 4 cyl..... don't expect much rumble.

It may just be the engine "gargeling" as the rpms lower. I have a 40 serires flow master and it kinda of sounds the same way as his. I wish i would of found this forum before i went w/ flowmaster, i should have done homework on this raven i keep hearing about

Where would an everyday joe like myself be able to get my hands on one of these here ravin mufflers if i dont have a midas anywhere close by...

Spyderdan · #13 12-13-2005, 10:54 AM

I found a midas 45mins away they tried to tell me vortex sound better, and he didnt have ravins in stock but hes calling me back...lol

that may be his opinion..... When i had my ravin installed, the guys that work there said that they do NOT like FM or vortex as much as ravin.

I would honestly go for the z55 over the z33.

55 series is much less raspier and has a good bark on acceleration.
