I've been looking at different places to get a magnaflow cat but some places don't give prices online. Do you guys know any place on the East Coast that does Blazer stuff? I need to replace my cat asap.

After doing some searching I'm thinking of the magnaflow cat and a gibson exhaust. I'll take a video of the old exhaust with the bad cat, then the new cat with old exhaust and them new cat and new exhaust. Grand total if $460 shipped.

You might also wanna look into Catco they have high performance cats as well.

I ordered a JBA exhaust that's a 3 inch to 3 inch and the catco cat. Grand total with shipping was $470. Now I just gotta talk the wife into getting headers and a Y pipe.

Well it turns out the JBA won't be sold due to missing muffler at the company so I had to get a Gibson exhaust and with a maganflow cat. I'll let you know how it sounds. Video's will be taken when changed.

I need the cat, it's the main reason why I bought it. Mine is dead after 150,000 miles

Well I got both packages today. Fast shipping. Since I had a problem with the JBA, I got a free Summit Racing hat and the Gibson came with a hat too. Well done Summit. You just got another returning customer.

Well I'm halfway done with the exchange. The nuts on the cat were very hard. Scrapped knuckles and all. We even heated it up and then lubbed then and they finally came off. That top nut was the hardest due to zero movement capability. Another good thing is a new exhaust system. We had to cut the old system's pipes to get the muffler off and out of the bottom. I busted off 2 of the bolts after removing the muffler. I had it heated and lubbed those also and snap!!!!!!!!!!!!! O2 sensor came out with some muscle also. All I need is 6 new bolts and nuts and she's done. Hopefully done by 10 am today, after the fixture shop opens up.
