Default Need louder exhaust

I want something with a muffler. (I don't want open exhaust but I'm tired of hearing my gears (they whine a little), and I don't like having to listen to the radio all the time)

I love the sound of Magnaflow but it just aint loud enuff.

I was thinking Flowmaster 10 series, my older brother has one and it sounds good, loud but is not deafening.

Soo, I was just wondering, is there any other fairly loud muffler out there that I should be considering, other than Flows?

Thanks.

The magnaflows (or anything for that matter) get alot louder without cats. That may be your ticket.

You'll need O2 sims after you do this right?

You can bust the insides out with a long screwdriver and hammer. Or just weld in some pipes to replace the cats.

Yes, you'll need 02 sims, edit, or a custom tune to delete the rear 02 codes.

ps. if you gut them, wear a respirator and do it outside! That stuffs toxic.

Guess I have a reason to go out and buy some chissels. Could always use a bigger BFH too. Need cats here for visual state inspection. That's the whole reason I got the Blazer, my Dad didn't want to through the money into it to put cats on for PA inspection, so I picked it up thinkning since there's no emission testing here.... Well, had cats put on, and the ended up getting clogged because of all the darn gas teh carb was dumbing into them. Couldn't get them off, so I just loosed the input clamp.

May have to gut mine some weekend. Thanks for the info.
