My First Mod

My First Mod
I had my first mod done today. I don't mess around when it comes to modding my vehicles. I got insurance on it about 9:00 this morning, picked up my fiance' from work, ate breakfast, took her back to work, got it tagged about 11:15, went and got the bolts for the license plates, put them on at home, then had my Blazer at the tint place around 12:15. The rear windows stayed the same, I just had the two front windows tinted to match the rear. I did not add a brow today, but I probably will sometime.

After:
I think it already looks better.
Next will be a Thrush Welded muffler with 2.5 inch piping and a turndown and a drop-in K&N air filter. Couple questions: Is it ok to buy a muffler with offset inlet/outlets? Is the stock exhaust tubing 2.25 or 2.5 inches? I plan on using 2.5 inch inlet/outlets on the muffler and I'm not sure if I'll need to replace the tubing too.

I'm also thinking about a shorty antenna.

Looks much better!
If you do a shorty, just cut yours down instead of spending a buttload of money on one that doesn't work anyways. Cheaper that way and still looks cool.

as far as the exhaust...i did the exact same thing.
after the cat there is a 3 bolt flange then the stock muffler.
remove the flange and cut off what you dont want.
i believe stock exhaust is 2.25
what i did was weld on a 2.5" exhaust from the flange back. the turn down is exactly where the stock hanger is so i could reuse it.
just measure from that flange back to get your placement/parts.
you will love the sound...i know i do.
tint looks great by the way.

Hey, if you don't mind me asking, how much does tint on the front windows cost? I was thinking about it, but wanted a ballpark cost before I go.

To answer the exhaust question: its 2.5 going into muffler an 2.25 coming out.

Also, I can just cut my antenna down and call it good? Will there be exposed wire at the end? I'm assuming a wire runs through the antenna. Any more info will be appreciated.

I think the little rubber on the tip slides off and you just put it back where you cut it
