Question What are good headers & CAI?

Alright, I'll start with specs.
95 Blazer LS 4wd
4.3l vortec
no mods.

I want a decent set of headers and CAI, but I can't find much online for this engine. I realise it's asking a lot, but I also don't want to pay too much. Any ideas?

go to advance auto or auto zone and go to the air filters and look for spectre CAI pieces and just piece one together thats what i have and it rocks BIG difference if you ask me

headers = no clue kind of pointless on a lil v6 4.3

I paid 50$ for a cai on ebay (bomz I think). Threw away the filter and bought a K&N for 44$. Made my heat shield out of old license plates (knew they'd be good for something). Make sure you get or make a good heat shield with the cai or you'll just be suckin' in hot engine air and negate any benefits.

The local Autozone and Advance auto here doesn't sell the by the piece kits.

headers wont do that much on a 4.3, but if you reallyyyy want some

4WD - Headers - 4.3L/262 - BLAZER - CHEVROLET - 1995 - SummitRacing.com


Headman headers are pretty good

if you get headers make sure there for 4x4 because they are different and only maybe 3 companies make good ones for a blazer jba edelbrock and pacesette those are the only ones that give good gains and make sure you get ceramic coated they are easy on your sparkplug wires and they dont heat up your engine compartment
