Default Best Option for Mufflers??

Hey, i'm fresh to this group. I'm wondering what the best muffler would be for my 98 Blazer. It has the 4.3 Vortec v6. Right now i have a magnaflow cat on it, and it sounds better then stock, but i want more!! I don't want a gross amount of noise, and would prefer something deep compared to ratty sounding, Thanks for the help

If I could find something bolt on that would be even better, because I don't have access to a lot of tools.

I have a Magnaflow muffler/cat and think it sounds great. Flowmaster might be louder but I think the Magnaflow sounds better overall.

I have a sound clip on YouTube.

Thanks for the audio and video. I take it that your Blazer has the 4.3. Which Magnaflow and tip did you install? Just curious about model or part numbers. I just bought a 98 and the stock exhaust has to go. Thank you in advance!!!!

I'm happy with my magnaflow. Not sure what the part number is. Got it brand new in a trade. It was a bolt up for a s10 truck. Took it to an exhaust shop and paid $20 to have it slightly modified to bolt right up in my blazer.

Yeah, I'm thinking the flowmaster 40 series of 44 series with high flow cats. Only thing is, I heard high flow cats might eventually throw some codes. Any suggestions?
