yeah that would work out fine. you just have to make sure that the inlet and outlet of the flowmaster is in the right place for a blazer. While your at it, you might want to think about a cat back exhaust. I only paid 50 bucks to have them weld in my flowmaster (kind of a rip off for one weld i guess), but i cant imagine that it would cost much more than that.

You'll want to go ahead and replace the pipe from the muffler back. It won't sound and run like you want it without upgrading to 2.5 inch pipe.

Most shops have a $40 rack fee, the weld if the shops hold the same rules there only costed you $10.

I wouldnt put a flowmaster let alone a 40 series on a stock engine...especially with a cat on it.

Probably just his personal choice, lots of folks here have done it.
