Please be patient. Most people work during the day.

Here is one that I have found:

^^This one uses a single inlet, dual outlet muffler.

I would recommend this method of getting dual tail pipes. It would be a royal pain to do a true dual setup on these trucks. The gas tank is right in the way!

Plus true dual exhaust has less back pressure & the vortec 4.3's need a certain amount of back pressure. A single in/dual out is the much better way to go & it still sounds really good with the right muffler. Don't forget it could take a few months for the muffler to "burn in" & sound better.

I didn't want to go off topic in the other thread this was brought up in, but engines needing back pressure is just a myth.

Here are a few threads which explain the reasoning:
Backpressure
exhaust instead of lift kit
good idea?

right now I'm running a pipe off my cat. sounds pretty nice and you don't see the pipes. Most dual exhaust on blazers look retarded anyway. I was thinking about making mine dual straight pipes and have one pipe come out each side, but like discretely so I don't look like a Mexican mobile with big chrome pipes sticking out of the sides

that looks ok... I was thinking more hidden than that and before the rear wheels because after u get up to the rear wheels the pipe has be be bent in all kinds of directions. I'd leave mine the way it is now but it won't pass inspection like that because my exhaust doesn't leave the "passenger compartment". Honestly I think dual pipes are played out almost every truck I look at has them. I like the look where you can't see pipes at all
