What the Raven Mufflers at Midas like?

Do they give you good performance?
Do they give you a deep throaty V8 sound?

Thanks

Louvered core = loss of performance. (is it even a straight through?)

Get a Magnaflow. Nice deep sound, straight through perforated design.

Can't go wrong.

My friend has one on his 2.5 PGT.
Its a single in, dual out.

I dont know about performance, but it does sound rather nice.

I use Ravin mufflers. Now, admittedly, I carry a V8 engine, but at 279ci, it's a smallish 8. The performance difference is noticeable, thing had a bit more life throughout the powerband. According to my dyno, I theoretically may have gotten about 10 horse and 15 torque peak increase, but that's a rough estimation. I don't have a pre-ravin dyno. I only got the mufflers, didn't want to go extremely loud, after all, it's a Cadillac. When idling, there's a quiet, subdued rumble, but when I rev it up, It sounds very sweet. Nice and deep, similar to the tone (note tone, not the sound type) of a Flow'd Camaro with the 5.7 My sound is smoother because of the valve difference, but the deep rumble matches the deep of a Camaro with an extra liter of displacement. I don't know if you're llooking for pure performance, so I don't know of the Ravin is the ultimate speed increaser, but as for sound effect, I haven't heard anything with the same deep rumble effect on an equally sized motor.


Words of wisdom...
-I'm too old for this sh*t.
-Dirty jews have well laundered money.
