ravin muffler

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.

$67 for the exhaust AND installation?! thats pretty sweet. im excited to hear....

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...

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.

I wanted to get the Z55 after hearing yours BlazerLT but none of the midas had any Z55's anymore. And only a few places had any Z33 in. It was either the Z33 or a vortex so i went with the Z33...

Here is a little better recording.

I dont know why it gargles so much when it revs down. Its in park and warmed up...

That sounds pretty good.

Well i called all of the Midas' on my side of this state and no one has ravins im getting frustrated. what should i do now?

You might check ebay, occasionally I have seen them on there, but not all that often.

rip one off of a another s10? see if they'll (or you) look elsewhere in US, depending on price, have it shipped or go there (if its close enough) to Midas. Obviusly if your in NY, don't drive to Cali, but you know what I mean! wish you luck, you'll be happy in the end with the sound.

Where is Nunda?? The Rochester area shops claim they have them...

we went with the Z55 and it sounds great, louder under load.
that 33 will probably get louder the more you drive our 55 did.

well I got ahold of a midas that carries the ravins still. gave me a price for the z55 for 169.99 but the girl said she would give it to me for 149.99 hahah give it she says... anways does that sound right? i know its no wheres but for the rnear the $67 est of you that bought them?

I always make straight lines when i stock the shelves. (i'm kinda anal about neatness + organization) well dan, i say if that includes install, eat her out while you're waiting.
:pimp:

nope thats just for the muffleri must be getting screwed! I think ir would be easier to have someone pick one up for me and have it shipped lol

I decided I'd go with Magnaflow after the guy at Midas asked $250.00 CDN for the z55 plus installation and other materials....

ive have the z55 paid $90 for muffler and install. it sounds great!!
