Ravin Exhausts...

[jp831]

I've heard some pretty good things about these systems and was thinking about gettin one for my 99 sport. Has anyone here had any experience with these mufflers. And will I still get the same sound if i just install the z55 muffler and leave the stock piping? Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks...

I personally like Magnaflow products a lot better. Besides sound, you also want to get some performance out of exhaust mods. I recommend a Magnaflow muffler and 2.25" or 2.5" tailpipe.

To get the most out of your exhaust you should also look into an airfilter replacement.

I would recommend not just replacing your muffler,' go with cat back piping of 1.5 inches.

Good luck.....

1.5 inches?????

must've been a typo or a brain fart. better is 2.5"

yeah... 1.5" my tercel had that...... id say the best size piping is 2.25" or 2.5" do the whole catback for best performance.... i have heard good things about the ravins..... but have never had one.... i heard colins at thaven and it sounded nice.....

I'm not much of a car guy, I'm still learning but my friend basically did my whole exhuast for me I just kinda watched and learned, We went and got a Magnaflow 3 chamber or something like that, and a bunch of 2.5" piping, and cut off all the crap under the explorer, redid it all, and put a nice looking tip on the end, and well to be honest it sounds like a kitten.

We were anticipating a nice throaty "lion like" V8 sound, and what came out, was a newborn kitten.

Just thought I'd throw that in there.

Atleast Got a good deal on it, the whole thing, Muffler/tip/piping and stuff, only cost me a total of $145, and labor free, since we did it.

My Magnaflow kinda sounds like a kitten:

A kitten running down stairs at idle, boom boom boom.
A kitten purring loudly during normal driving.
A baby lion practicing it's growls during passing.
And a pride of baby lions howling at WOT.



Oh, and tonight there was the kitten coughing up a hairball screech when I accidentally left those 10 foot marks at the light.

Now don't get me wrong, at first the sound that came out was a bit dissapointing, but it's kinda grown on me, I don't not like it, it gives it character without the whole town looking at me when I floor it, just a few bystanders maybe, if they are paying attention, looking right at my car, and no one else is around, and have excellent hearing.

Sorry about that... it should read 2.5.

well i was just at midas today and they told me they don't have anything for dual in/single out. They only have dual 3" in and thats too big of a piping. So the ravin is no longer an option i guess. I guess now I'm goin to look into the 50 series delta force. Would this muffler give my truck a nice little rumble like the ravin would?

BTW.... does anyone know the part number for this muffler. My truck is dual in/single out so I'm having truoble finding a muffler. If they dont carry the delta flow... do u guys reccomend the 50 series SUV?

 

[sonkakaro]

50 series suv muffler is fine as well as the delta.

I had a shop build me an exhaust it consisted of single 2.5 pipe and a mediem lengh glass pack type muffler, sounds like a desert race truck. it is not really loud untill you give it the nutz. next im putting a flowmaster american thunder muffler on it.
