Well finally got the cat out, bought the cat system from a 2000 blazer and found out that for being 1 year different the exhaust set up is totally different, so I just ended up buying a magnaflow cat, hopefully I can scrap the 3 cats for a decent price. Moving on, so I had to cut off and fab up the joints where the exhaust pipes connect and ended up welding the damn thing on upside down, so after some choice words I decided to give up for the night and went and punished my body at Taco Bell.
Hoping everything goes smooth tomorrow to finish up the instal

I'd have just gutted that cat, reinstalled it, and installed a spark plug de-fouler in the post cat sensor. Done and done. Cats are WAY too expensive these days. Truck will run better, and might even pick up a MPG or 2.

I love my 3inch cut off saw. Cut up my rear bumper so I could raise it 2 inches after the body lift

That's for a full size so no it won't fit your blazer!
