Default mufflers!

What kind of muffler would sound good on my 4.3. I'm looking for something that's like between moderate and aggressive. I don't want something super aggressive tho.

I love the way the dynomax super turbo sounds. It has the nice sound but it isnt too loud. 1995 Chevy Blazer 4.3L V6 Dynomax Super-Turbo Catback - YouTube

Is that basically the same thing as a flowmast 40series just different brand?

I'm thinking of either going with a super 44 or a series 50

50s too quiet. 44 is about right for what you want. I had a 44 on my old blazer. had a low growl and you could hear it when you open her up.

40's sound better on v8's. They sound good on ours when idling or wot,but at 55 mph cruising they have a terrible v6 drone. I had one on for 3 days and cut it off and put that 44 on.

What size outlet and intlet do I need? And do they need to be offset or anything if I'm keeping the stock piping? Also to run duals do I need to remove the spare tire underneath?
