I'm not really looking for a whole exhaust swap right now, the Camaro needs it more than the Blazer right now haha. I just want to spend a little bit of money and make the Blazer sound like its got a 4.3L in it and not some lonely 2.8 or Iron Duke. For Christs sake the Camaro with a 3.1L in it sounds like it has more ***** than the 4.3L!!!

When I was driving with a friend go to get the Blazer we were going up the guys dirt road and well the Camaro doesn't like dirt roads. After a few big bumps the muffler broke free from the exhaust pipe at the clamp. That whole clamp and the area around it was rusted enough that a few big bumps finally broke it right off and I started to drag it down the road, so yeah. I need to fix that soon, but right now, I need to get this Blazer road worthy to pass inspection and make it sound louder!!! And sounding louder is a lot cheaper right now lol

Anyone know how to make it look like the axle seals aren't leaking? Thats whats holding me back from getting new stickers on the windshield....

 

I used to love straight pipes. I had a 73 Ford pickup with a built 429 and straight pipes. It sounded awesome. I've mellowed in my old age though lol. I really like the sound of the Flowmasters on the 4.3

 

Move to florida.. we have no inspections, aww well.. the dynomax superturbo cat back is a conservative/cheap/legal/ decent looking way to go, got it on my blazer and the jeep with a 3" tip

 

Just redid the exhaust on the 95 s10 blazer, no cat, thrush turbo muffler, short tailpipe. Sounds great, not to loud, and minimal interior noise. Noticable power gain. Will get to see how it is on the highway in the morning.

 

I just straight piped my blazer today...

 

how's it sound?

 

I agree with him, how does it sound?

 

Straight pipe won't pass inspection, provided they look underneath. If you really want it loud, like I said go with a long glasspack, the longer the deeper it is. I say get one at least 24" in case length, not just overall length. On my old Grand Caravan, it had a stock cat and stock 14" case resonator (glasspack type thing) and with no muffler it wasn't too bad inside but outside it was insane for a minivan. I used to have a 5am job so the neighbors hated me, so I cut off all the pipe after the cat, put on a 48" long glasspack (yeah, a 4 foot glasspack) and then the resonator and tailpipe and it sounded awesome, much deeper, no drone and quiet enough to not wake the neighbors. Also that was a 3.3 van, so i'd say a 24" glasspack with no resonator and stock cat will sound beastly, but you'll really want a 2.5" tailpipe too, so that way the motor can breathe and it'll give you that deep rumble you want.

 

For those of you wondering about my straight pipe, well I gotta say it's pretty awesome and I LOVE the sound it has. I just put an elbow pipe on it so it comes out in front of the back tire(sorta). But ya the only bad part is it won't pass inspection. But there's way around that I would deffinetly recomended it(highly)

 

I was going to say something about putting an exhaust on a minivan,
But then again i saw a caravan driving around winnipeg with a turbo and a monsterous intercooler, it was also slammed.
