I'm looking at finally getting some exhaust work done on my 2000 Regular Cab V6 5-speed. I've got the intake side fairly taken care of (short of 1.7RR, which I doubt I could install at the moment do being a poor bastard). I called around some shops down here, and the one that seemed the most honest with me was Midas. The guy was hesitent to give me a fixed figure price, since he wasn't exactly sure how many custom bends he would have to do, and he wanted me to come in and look at his mufflers/tips, as well as possibly listen to some sound clips from the different models.

I liked that, I'm always nervous when someone gives me a fixed price over the phone. He -did- estimate between $250-300 depending on what I have him do (he recommended dual-outs for the 'coolness' factor).

My question is this:

What does anyone know about the Midas performance mufflers? They are selling Ravin Performance Exhausts now ( http://www.goravin.com/home.html ). The Z-tube design, from what I've learned about audio and how frequencies interact with each other, seems sound to me. But has anyone actually seen/heard one in operation?

Don't go with daul outs, you will get more power with a single out.

I BOUGHT A 40 SERIES FLOWMASTER DUEL EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR MY REG.CAB V6 MANUAL FOR 300. I FOUND THAT 0-60 WAS A LITTLE SLOWER BUT ON THE HIGHWAY IT DROVE A LOT FASTER.I DONT KNOW IF YOUR LOOKING FOR SOUND BUT ITS VERY LOUD.IT WASENT LOUD AT FIRST AFTER ABOUT 3000 MILES IT GOT LOUDER.I SAY GO WITH DUALS.

Yeah, I'm thinking about it. Also eyeing one of those high-flow catlytic convertors from speedtweaks... get everything from the manifolds back done. I was thinking of getting headers, but if I'm going to be putting on a Turbo in a year or so, no point in buying two sets. Besides, from what I've heard the stock ones flow pretty good...

No one has experiance with the Midas Ravin mufflers?
