I just used new stock piping and a cherry bomb muffler. Sounds really good. Nice a deep and not all drones.

Any "complete exhaust kit" is asking to break the bank. I would just go custom and save a few hundred dollars. Go to an exhaust shop and either get a cherry bomb, flowmaster, thrush, magnaflow, whatever muffler you like put on with some 2 1/4 inch or 2 1/2 inch piping and be on your way. Cheapest way to go! If inclined to, also add a tip. Cats are expensive, it is just the nature of the beast. But I hear people getting high-flow cats put on. I think Magnaflow makes one. I'd check into that.

And make sure too look it up on youtube before you buy it by searching for what you wanna hear on a blazer, like "flowmaster super 44 blazer" or "cherry bomb turbo 4.3"

Or you could have a muffler like mine. I was going down a rough muddy road a few months back and bumped a rock causing a small hole or two in my muffler making it sound mildly throatier.

I got a magnaflow cat-back off amazon shipped for $147. worked out good because i get a $75 rebate. Anyways.. got it on today, sound isnt much over stock... i can tell but its not loud, which for me works great. It might get louder once its gets a few miles on it. Performance wise i didnt really notice much of a gain. I think it has a little bit better of pick up.

i have the thrush welded muffler and it sounds just like the one in the video, from what ive read its just a cheaper knock off of the flowmaster 44 but, anyway i love it a very nice sound for a 6v.
