Hey guys has anyone installed a ravin or hearthrob dual exhaust .If so how do you like either one

 

I have just bought a 2000 F-150 with the Ravin Z-33 exhaust system 3"in/dual 2.5 out. It is too loud for me. It has good sound but at 65-70 mph, it is a little loud. It has 3"- 24" long chrome tips that probably add to the problem. Ravin also has a Z-55 and a Z-77 system that are quieter. I am going to take my muffler off and put on a Z-77 (the quietest) and see if it is better.

 

I've got the Z33 3" SI/SO on my truck and it sounds pretty good in town but does have a bit of a drone @ highway speeds.
Overall I like it!!

 

promark;I have z-55s on my 97 F-150 4.6;These are the middle of the line. They have a nice deep rumble at idle to mid range.and get louder the more gas you give it. a little noise in cab at 1500 to 2000 rpm. But there internal design is such that they will last for years.Z-55 with 18 inch tips, real nice for sure...... Luck oldgray

 

Oldgray, do you have the Ravin cat back system or a custom install? I also have a 97 w/4.6 and am thinking of going with Ravin. Is your muffler a SI/DO, and what size pipes? I don't want to loose any low end torque or city mpg, how has your system performed?

Thanks

 

Dg-150; In answer to your quiston,I have the Ravin cat back sys.3inch in and 2.5 out.Si/Do on the muffler.This system seems to work good for me ,But I also have a set of JBAs on it.I have an airaid intake tube and togeather it run real good and sounds even better. I got the Ravins at Midas.The install was cheaper there than any where else and they welded on the tips.Thats so they didnt end on some crappy Chevy...Go to there web site and listen for yourself.THERE IS ALSO A DEALERS MAP..Good lUCK oldgray pS YOULL LOSE GAS MILAGE FOR A WHILE.THE REASON IS THEY SOUND SO GOOD YOULL BE BLASTING OFF FROM EVERY STOP...LOL
