I can't comment on the Z-33, but I am running the Z-55 3" inlet/dual outlets and love it. You can get them at Midas. A word of advise though, don't go with a turn down. I originally had turn downs on mine and let me tell you that that Bi%ch was so loud it gave me a headache after 30 minutes of interstate driving. It also vibrated the truck so bad that you couldn't see out of the rear view mirror. Because of these two things, I drove straight to the muffler shop to have dual pipes run.

[HAWK]

lol awesome! haha how loud is it outside the truck? now and when you had turndowns.. i know now with my flowmaster 60 /turndown its only loud inside.. doesnt have a loud outside sound to it..

[madman7703]

It is still fairly loud both inside and out, but not like it was with the turndowns. It is alot louder than the Flowmaster 40 with duals that I used to have.

[HAWK]

k, kool thats i wanted to hear.. i'm gonna run mine with a turndown.. hehe

xHAWKx if you decide to get the z-33 can you post a sound clip ? I'd like to hear what
it sounds like with the turndown.

[heresdamanladies]

ya im kinda looking into this same set up turndowns and all thx Jason

[HAWK]

yeah i'll try and get one.. i dont know when i'll get it though.. it has a 99.9% chance of going on maybe in a week or 2.. during my spring break and what not.. i'll let you guys know...

[IronMan2003]

Hey madman7703 Do you have a sound clip of your exhaust by any chance?

[Chris0nllyn]

here are some z-33 sounds http://www.goravin.com/snds.html

[HAWK]

well i just bought the z-33 from www.ravin.us came out to $60+$9 shipping = $69 bucks hopefully a shop can install it for 40 bucks or so...

i'll keep the thread updated after i get and install it.. and for those who wanted a sound clip, i'll figure out a way to get one for you guys

btw i'm gonna run a turndown..

[bg's]

[madman7703]

Congrats and welcome to the few, but proud Ravin family.

[HAWK]

well it's thursday night, and still no muffler. *sigh* if it doesnt come tommorow i'm going to be pissed. i want my Muffler to Come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! blah hurry up UPS ground! DRIVE FASTER!

[xxosiris9xx]

okay i listened on that website and...i didnt like it at all...maybe itll sound different or better on a newer truck with some upgraded pipes

[bg's]

That sound bite at Ravin is nasty. They sound much better than that..

[HAWK]

yeah i wasnt too impressed with the one at the ravin site either.....

it's supposed to be delivered tommorow... *monday* so depening on what time (hopedully early) i'll get it on, if not i'll have to wait till wensday. so UPS come early plz...

then i'll figure out how to get a sound clip..

[copo69]

ya i got the ravin z-55 2.25 duel and i love it, good deep mellow sound, i had flowmasters on before and i am much happier with the ravin ,both sound and performance, i notice more low end torque now,not that many with ravins that was one reason why i decided on it im really into stuff that most people dont have, and i am happy i did,although more people arfe goin to be getting into ravins im sure,keep us posted what you do,later

[HAWK]

well i got it on a few days ago... now im working on finding something to get a good sound clip of it, so maybe i can get em to put in on theyre site or somethin too instead of that blazer....

it sounds much louder up to 2200 then it levels off into a deep rumble

xtremely happy with it.. and i can already see a better increase in my gas mileage... my flow 40 delta KILLED MINE gimmie a week and i'll go through this tank and see how many miles i get on it

thanks again for all your help guys

[bg's]

Once you get a sound clip you can host it here on your own website for free..Ck it out.
That's how I did mine on top of my sig..

www.freewebs.com

[BlackEsDime]

anyone ever get a sound clip? In about an hour or so i'm getting my single inlet/dual outlet 33 with turndowns... and you people are saying how loud they are, I just wanted an idea of what i'm getting myself into.

[HAWK]

they really arent THAT loud... a single in dual out with Turndown will sound fukin sic on it... you'll be happy with it. i know it

[BlackEsDime]

yeah, not quite as loud as everyone makes them out to be. but it sounds awsome. I have single in dual out turndown. Set off alarms with it though, but i think its just the tone.

[HAWK]

lolol yea i love doing that.. i've got some angry people though.. they think i hit their car and set off the alarm.. im like no. the exhaust. and their how the hell can your exhaust set off my alarm.. and im like watch set your alarm again and i'll set it off.. hahah the look on their face is like wtf?

glad your happy with your though

it has a really different tone to it.. cuz i set my friends warning alarm off on his blazer, and my friend has a v8 loud ass truck and he cant..

[Chevy Layin Low]

I'm thinking of going to Midas here when I get some extra money and getting a z-55 and turn down with stock piping. Anyone know how much that might run me? Or have any suggestions. . .thx.

[HAWK]

uhm... from ravin site i think their 45 bucks?? not sure.. (i think the sites on the first page?)

if i were you. go with the z33 it will be louder, and you'll like it more

[jeff2000sierra]

How wille z-33 sound on a 2.2 L Will use stock pipe with turn downs? Any advise appreciated. Gonna go probably this week.

[HAWK]

I'm sure you'd be happy with it... it may sound a bit higher then mine does since its a 4.3. i think as long as you dont run duals you should be fine and happy with it... maybe you should go with the z-55 that might give a little deeper sound to it...
