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?
