Default need yalls opinion on a couple things

ok in a couple weeks im gonna be repainting my blazer and getting my exhaust redone. i wanted some opinions on what color to do and what muffler to do.
my options on the color are black or brown. its mostly brown now cuz thats the original color and i really like the contrast of the brown with my new rims and tires, but i really think that it would look sweet black but im not sure.
if any of you are really good at photo shop i geuss you could make it black and that might help.
now for the muffler i either want magnaflow glasspacks magnaflow mufflers or flowmaster 40s just needed your opinions anything is better than nothing

thanks

A brown or grey on top and then either paint the bottom black or bedliner it. I've always thought that two-tone look looked great.

Also, mufflers... either super 44, 40 series, or 1 chamber (what I've got).

i think if u go brown it would be different than most ppl. but not just any brown, "mack truck brown" its a true brown but with a lil metal flake in it and at dusk it almost looks burgandy. pretty cool color and ez to paint. and as for the muffler, if ur runnin the 4.3L id go with magnaflow. itl sound way better and breathe better than a glaspac or flowmaster. ive got a glaspac on my 4.3L and it doesnt sound that good and a flowmaster gives it a funny sound to me. magnaflows make any motor size sound beefy.
this picture of my brothers wrecked suby is the mack truck brown

that i
s a cool color and i agree about the magnaflow i love how they are really quiet at idle and as the rpms get higher the sound becomes more and more intense. but if i do paint it brown it will be back to the brown it is now. i havent really seen many brown ones either. my teacher calls it champagne brown and my friends call it poop brown
