Isn't 3 1/2 pipe a waste on a Blazer?

I remember is lowers back pressure or something to much.

It's 3 1/2" tips that are 18" long. Not a 3 1/2" exhaust piping.. If this site offers that as an kit, that would be awsome. But I truely dought the 10-20 hp claims unless he has a dyno sheet to back that up. Butt dyno's dont count...lol.... Overal this does look good. I was looking into changing my exhaust system too.. Good find.

3.5" pipes would be WAY too large on a 4.3L v6 and duals at 3.5" is just rediculous...

I also don't think that it will be true duals as the computer will definitely have something to say about that as the O2 sensors won't be right... The PCM uses both the upstream and downstream sensors or catalyst monitoring and the readings would not be correct if going true duals.

And again, engines needing backpressure is a myth. There is such a thing as going too large and limiting the scavenging affects. Too large and the exhaust will just slow down too much and stack up.

Well if it is possible see about getting some dyno specs for it before and after the exhaust to see if there truly is a major difference!!
