Exhaust on blazers...

sonoma1989 · 10-18-2009, 12:49 PM

what kind of exhaust systems do you guys have on your blazers, iam trying to get ideas for my blazer. i was thinking of getting the dual exhaust pipes from LMC Truck and putting those on, but i wanted to see what everybody eles is running and what is going to sound better. let me know what you got. thanks

Hows the drone on you setup? I kinda need and exhaust now (got a hole that dont sound half bad

). It will be my daily so i want it to be bearable

wildman ss · 10-19-2009, 06:18 PM

i used to have that setup on my blazer and i hated it, the drone was absolutley terrible

flowmasters ftl

now I'm running open cat and its a whole lot better

neo71665 · 10-19-2009, 06:52 PM

Its not that bad, only at certain RPMs. Nothing the radio doesn't cover up.

wildman ss · 10-19-2009, 06:55 PM

the 4.3 and 40 series dont mix well imo, on the highway it would hit a certain frequency and everything inside would start rattleing and reverberating

Mine doesn't... I have a 03 2dr Blazer with the stock exhaust with the exception of a 40 series Flowmaster dumped at the rear axle...

SnoMan · 10-19-2009, 08:41 PM

yea ik that flowmasters, blowmaster ect suck lol and that they rot mad quick and since im in the salt belt it would be gone after the winter lol

I have some glass packs my grandfather had in a 73 (i believe) gmc jimmy that i got and was wondering how they would sound with a replacement tailpipe. yea ik ive heard glass packs suck but its what ive got to work with and these a a lil different style

gchemist · 10-21-2009, 12:53 AM

I plan to install a high flow cat and Magnaflow muffler.

Goran · 10-21-2009, 12:02 PM

I piped in a Borla muffler...

only cause the stealership changed the factory muffler 3x due to loose baffles... after going to the borla (lazy s bend) no issues...
it has a nice throat to it...

but a v6 will never sound like a v8, regardless of what muffler you put on it...

Any sound clips of said exhaust?

Blktalon456 · 10-23-2009, 02:13 AM

Not a blazer but I just put a Thrush offset center muffler on my sonoma with no cat and it sounds pretty good. I can honestly hardly hear it in the truck.

4dr right?

and don't buy any performance related parts from LMC, they (as well as most of the stuff they sell) are cheaper at lots of other places.

BobbyDean · 10-23-2009, 02:55 AM

No dumps!

The drone is garbage regardless of the muffler you choose... so IMHO always finish the pipe out! Cool sound at first, making the 262 sound close to a bigger block. But it will wear on you. I've got a system that hammers and it still wouldn't stop the drone while maintaining speed limits...

Yeah its 4dr.

S10LT1 · 10-25-2009, 06:06 PM

mines dumped before my rear axle with a flowmaster super 44 dual out, the drones pretty bad and i have the back half of my truck walled off with audio, cant hear it with the tunes kickin, but without that u can.

lucky for me my tunes are always on, so it dosnt bother me at all..lol

pj5454302 · 10-25-2009, 08:28 PM

I have just a magnaflow muffler and my stock tailpipe and it sounds nice. It isnt loud but gives it a nice deep sound. There is vuirtuly no drone.

***philntx*** · 10-31-2009, 10:46 PM

Before I swapped in the supercharged 6 liter, I was running a Gibson single outlet on my Blazer. I also have one on my 01 ZR2.

I like it. No resonance (at any speed), nice subdued throaty idle, straight through pipe with no restriction.

I knew that is what i should have done instead of building my 4.3.
