New exhaust going on soon

[Ramseyryan88]

A while back I picked up some exhaust for the truck. Guy had a k5 he'd lowered (slammed?) and went with a better fitting system. So I got longtube headers, already fabbed 3" pipe with crossover and flow master super 40's with turn downs for just under $200! My dad is coming over Sunday to help with install, as I've never put on headers or exhaust and he's had several squares over the years. Hoping everything will go on without too much trouble since the k5 is pretty similar to the pickup right? Going to try and attach a couple pics of what I got....

Gas tank in the back vs. Side tank? I don't know but at least the mufflers are far away because 40s are loud all of the time and you've got no tailpipes! In a Blazer? LoLoL. Race truck Blazer!

I bet it'll fit alright, I'm certain the headers will. Nice score.

Good deal for the money, hope you like it loud.

This is the k5 the system was on. Not my style but to each his own lol Guy was cool and had several squares in various stages of restomod.

I do! I had dual Flowmaster 10 series on my Camaro in high school lol. I figure this setup has got to sound better than factory logs and multiple leaks the stock exhaust has.

Oh they sound good alright, just loud.

In my area the majority of trucks are straight piped good ol' boy trucks lol, I personally don't like the raspy straight pipe sound but I do want her to sound good. Should compliment the Edelbrock 1406 carb and Performer intake that are going on soon as well. I'll try and get a clip of it after each step.

Good tune on the carb and it will, that's the key.

Definitely. Carb and timing are going to be set by a buddy of mine that used to build engines.

Well we got rained out last week but finally got the headers on today. Unfortunately the exhaust setup I got won't fit so going to have to have it altered. I guess the Blazers use a different cross member? At least the headers went on with no major issues!
