'97 Exhaust
I'm lookin' for a good sounding, low rumble, exhaust for my '97 F-150 4x4 (4.6 L.). Not loud like straight pipes or glass packs. I am also gonna run duals out the rear.

You want a Flowmaster 40 series man!!
I have installed them on 2 different 97 F150's, one with a 4.6 and one with a 5.4 . They both sounded great!! DEEP RUMBLE!!

If you decide to go with Flowmaster , make sure you get the original 40 series and not the Delta Flow 40 series.

Exhaust sound is largly a matter of personal choice.
In my opinion the Raven sounds too much like a ricer exhaust, too tinny sounding for me
The Flowmaster on the other hand has a deep smooth rumble, more like an American v8 should sound!!
And yes, I have heard Raven mufflers on a variety of cars and trucks.
Just my own opinion.

those sound clips do nothing for there truck systems , in person is where it counts, i work at a muffler shop and have installed both, and the raVin system sounds better to my ears.
the other guy who says they souns like rice cars has not heard the Z wave style mufflers. they are very a highend product and very well built.
here is the one we use on the ford trucks

Are they as loud as FM 40's? Last night i bought a 95 F250 with a 460 and want to put either FM 40's which I know rock or Race bullets but if Ravins are the real deal I may even consider them. I wish I could here them better though. I am looking for the sound of muscle that can be heard from a few blocks away like my Flowmasters on my FE410.

Hey Diesel , how much does a Z-wave ravin cost ? I am currently redoing the exhaust on my 90 F350 with a 460 . I have 3 inch pipe from the Y all the way back( no cats) . I was going to install a 50 series Flowmaster but if the price is not too much different I might try a Ravin .

In your opinion Diesel, do you think I should go true duals with 2 mufflers or just get the one you showed with a single inlet and dual outlet? Which would sound better? I am planning on having the cat removed, i know a place that will do it so it should sound pretty growly

there priced about the same as flowmasters.
if you can get a shop to make true duals go for it
2 ravins are better then one !
i work at a muffler shop and i have 88 mustang shorty headers with true dual 2.25" pipes with a "H" setup for the o2 sensor running to twin raVins leading to twin "lightning" style stainless 3" tips right in front of the rear tire . it looks and sounds sweet
my truck is a 1990 F150 4x4 5.0 ZF 5 speed
