I have a 1995 Blazer and I wanted to put duals on it, most likely just run dual tail pipes from the muffler, but my carbon canister is in the back on the drivers side where the other tail pipe would come out, I was wondering if it was posible to relocate it, also I have just a glass pack now on my blazer i want a muffler with a little bit deeper tone, whats a good choice for a muffler

Well, I have a Flowmaster on my Blazer. Not sure what series it is, but point is its a pretty deep sound. But its not very loud though.

Get a Ravin Z55 or Z33 from Midas and install it.
Awesome muffler.
I have a 1995 and I cannot see any obstructions going to the driver's side.
They will have to custom bend you a pipe to snake through to that side.
Don't go with flowmaster, they really hinder exhaust flow and can hurt performance.

The Ravin site shows a Z55 single in dual out and they have sound bites for a blazer that sounds pretty good.

The one on Ravin's site sound nothing compared to the actual thing.
Here are mine from a 4.3L with a z55.

I have a flowmaster 40 on mine and it sounds great, gas mileage went up and performance I seems to be the same. But the guy I had install mine ownes a muffler shop and I am good friends with he told me that the Ravin was a good product and a little cheaper but he said Flowmaster was better so he put the flow on for the same price as the Ravin. The flowmaster has a nice deep sound, and noticeable.

The Ravin flows better and is a much more aggressive sounding muffler. Check out the link above and listen to it on page 2.

So they measure the flow with water? Just wondering what the 28" of water was all about.
BlazerLT

Yes, air flows much like water.

Whats the price range like on the ravins? Cheaper than flowmaster?
BlazerLT
03-05-2005, 12:13 AM
In most cases yes, and even if they are slightly more expensive, they are worth it.

If it's a early model.
your stuck with the a single.
If you try to put duals on, your leaf with crush it on ever bump.
I suggest magnaflow. I have yet a louder deeper truck in my city

leaf will crush what?

If you were to run duals.
there's only one place to run the passanger side exhaust pipe and it would be above the leaf..or at least thats the problem I had with mine.

Are we talking about true dual or dual tailpipe off of one muffler?
Sen Sen
03-05-2005, 04:04 PM
true dual.
there was no room on mine for it.
so I'm stuck with a single.

Ah, ok, true duals is not recommended for a 4,3L anyways.

just curious..
why not?

So they measure the flow with water? Just wondering what the 28" of water was all about.
No, the "Inches of Water" is simply a measurement of pressure per unit area like PSI.
28 Inches of Water is about 1 PSI gauge.
Their graphic is pressure of air into the muffler (in Inches of Water), versus volume out (i.e., CFM).
They probably chose those units of measurement so that the resultant units of flow out (CFM) made for a nice graphic plot. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the actual pressure into most mufflers is 1-5 PSI. Above that would probably rip most mufflers apart.
Also, the higher above that index of 1 PSI of exhaust pressure into the muffler, one would expect a higher differential (in terms of back-pressure) between the less restrictive muffler and the more restrictive one, although there is obviously a point of diminishing returns and tuning/optimization (balancing backpressure versus how well the engine breathes) required.

This is not a marketing ploy. Flowmaster is known for not flowing very well.
