Like it says I need to get a new exhaust system one that replaces the car, minus all the junk between the car and the muffler, a deeper throatier sound and preferably and exhaust tip coming out of each side. My cat is going bad so I want to replace it all and I must have California emissions cause it looks like I have two cats and two mufflers 😂.
If anyone can give me product numbers and cheapest places to go online I will put you on my Christmas card list 😃. Thanks guys
Can you confirm if this is for your TB, or another vehicle, since you posted in the full size section? Your TB, if the exhaust system is stock, would have a cat, muffler, and resonator... So I'm a little confused about your setup.
The sticker in your glovebox should say if it has CA emissions, which may be one of the RPO codes listed in this document:
The underhood sticker should say if it's a federal or CA emissions.
And as @Blckshdw said. Two converters is usually on V8's.
I just order the muffler and parts needed then hit up a local shop to bend and weld up the pipes between. Always been far cheaper than buying a full aftermarket system and you get to pick your sound a bit more.
When you are ready and know what you need, make sure to compare prices. When I did the exhaust on my Sierra some parts came from Amazon, some from RockAuto, and the most expensive part came from Summit Racing because they were $75 less than others for the same pipe, same brand.
One thing's for sure, Walker mufflers are not recommended as they are necked down internally and thus, lower flow.
I’m sorry I did not notice this was in the full size forum, newbie screw up sorry guys.
It is for a trailblazer LSU and the emissions is for all 49 states so not CA emissions just seems like a lot of inline junk.
Anyway I’d like it to sound like a truck and a tip out of each side and I’d honestly like to just get rid of the cat but I couldn’t tell if their were any sensors after it cause I know if there are it won’t work
You won't get that type of sound out of an inline engine, like you would from a V8, the acoustics just don't work out that way. What you may try doing, is search Youtube for Trailblazer aftermarket exhaust videos. When these types of threads would pop up in years past, they would get posted, and you could get an idea of how some brands sounded to get an idea if it was close to what you wanted, or completely missed the mark.
One thing to keep in mind, sounds and looks are all subjective according to each person, so it's likely that something you like, a number of others won't. So it's hard to get an accurate recommendation on "fun mods" like this.

Probably because I put it together right after taking it apart and splitting my finger open in the process lol. Mine are bilsteins with a leveling kit so I hope that's it, not just something else messed up hahaDon't think loosening the bottom will do anything. Probably have to take the strut/spring assembly apart again and re-assemble with the strut centered. I don't remember there being that much play in the upper mount though.
Just looked at mine. Stock mounts are different. They stick up through that big hole. Yours look different.
I'm not knowledgeable with what's what on suspension so I'm gonna try and describe and see if you know. I reused the arm that the strut sits in, reused springs, and the top and bottom cushion looking guides the spring ends line up on, then the top that holds it all is the rough country leveling "puck?" Sorry wasn't sure how else to refer to itDid you use new mounts or reuse old?
