K5 Blazer Exhaust System Options - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey all,

Lookin to replace my exhaust system on my 86 Blazer. Mine has returned to mother nature. I see mostly 2 inch and 2.25 inch systems.

Does anyone make a 2.5 or 3 maybe inch? Would prefer a header back dual system.

Thanks

I think Pypes had a 2.5" system but that's the largest I've seen.

anything larger will hurt the power unless you are burning nitro methane

I think I used a Hooker kit. It was 2.5". I bought it from Summit.

Thanks. It's a 6.2 Diesel so the idea is to free up the exhaust a little more than stock and lower the EGTs if I turn up the injection pump.

If it's still NA you won't need more than 2.25" duals.

I did this one from flowmaster... 3" piping. Single out though and more stock looking. Nice sound though.
