anyone make a heatsheild for a 2000 blazer yet?

 

Also, my truck is a 2000. A little reading goes a long way my friend.

 

so with the 3" you need a 3" inlet for the filter right? all i could find for filter is a 3.5" inlet. where did you find yours at?

 

Mine came from Advanced Auto Parts. You could always go on any of the big brand filter sites and check their specs to see what will fit.

 

im having trouble finding mandrel bent pipe around where i live. only thing i can find is compression bend. so besides looks is there any difference between the two? and how long of pipe will i need?
thanks

Edit: ok i did find one shop that has mandrel bent pipe but its about 40$ for a 1 foot section of pipe. does that sound about right? i also found it on ebay for about 30$ after shipping, but it almost doesnt look like mandrel.
here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/45-DE...008214208#shId
and here another online place. should i trust it? link: http://www.mandrelexhaustsystems.com...t?smode=update

 

got it all done finally!!! i ended up going through mandrelexhaustsystems.com for the pipe. 20.95$ after shipping, so not bad. if anyone has to order their pipe i strongly recommend this site, these guys where great on customer service. all in all it went pretty easy and didnt run into anything difficult. noticed a pretty good difference in mpg and power. i still got some cosmetic stuff to do but here it is.

 

love the instructions, excellent write up

my 2 cents
if you get some material that hvac guys use for building branchs, you will have an excellent heat barrier. I am talking about the one that they use for square ductwork

 

thanks for posting this thread!!!
heres mine

 

This are beautiful instructions man...I am very grateful for this. I save so much money doing this, in fact I think I owe you money lol. Keep up the good work...I will post my results soon.
