Default Another Muffler Post! Ever hear of a Ravin Z55 Muffler?

Got one of these from my buddy, brand new in the box. I think they were made by Midas but they stopped making them a while ago. It's black powder coated centered 3" ID in/out. Anyone know of these mufflers and if it would sound good with a 4.7L? I already have it so I might as well try it and only buy something else if I don't like it.

Is it a chambered muffler or a straight through design? I have never heard of them so do you have a link to a website with more info?

In the clips you posted jroy every one of those vehicles sounded WAY to ricey. Personally I'd give that muffler a thumbs down but try it if you want. I have a feeling its going to drone you out of your mind and is going to sound like a ricer

I didn't think they were still in business, I got a buddy with a Furd F150 bought one at an truck/4x4 show musta been 5 or 6 years ago and he had me weld it on for him. If memory serves it was a model 55. It struck me as a Flowmaster clone, was black and chambered and had decent sound. He traded the truck about a year ago, still had that muffler on it to my knowledge...
