i just bought a 2001 blazer 2dr black and i want to do some mods to it but dont know on the new ones what gets the best bang for the buck? i want to get a cold air intake but dont want to pay alot for it and full exhaust but dont know where to get headers for a reasonable price.

most of the headers are out there are about $450 and up. i got a K&N cold air intake and magnaflow exhaust and i can definately tell a difference.

with your cold air intake did you have any problems with your maf sensor or did you get a different one?

im still using the stock one. the only problem i've had was when i first put it on, i forgot to plug everything back in before driving and the SES light came on but after fixing that, everything worked just fine

thanks for the info how much was your k&n intake? but i would still think with the orignal maf sensor your still gettting the same air coming in as a stock intake

The MAF sensor is capable of supporting over 350whp. I wouldn't worry one bit about it. By putting in a different intake setup, you are freeing up the restrictions, the largest restriction being the filter itself.

DONT DO IT---- WASTE WASTE WASTE
AFTERMARKET MAF IS A WASTE OF MONEY- even running 12psi i will still run the stock maf. it flows good enough 2 350hp. and the aftermarket ones are crap.
UNDERDRIVE PULLIES ARE THE BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK----
you could have
march underdrive pullies
and custom exhaust made for that and modify your intake box and put K&N drop in, in it and get much better results.
this is off of another post and it is by 02Vortech and he has a custom built turbocharger and he using the stock MAF
i got my K&N off ebay for $205 shipped which is a great deal IMO. all of the places that i went to locally were asking more than $260 and there is a custom drop/lift shop i went to and they told me it would be $370 so i just walked out

no way. everything in that shop was WAY overpriced. they charged me $25 for a sticker for my bowtie
if i want a lift ill probably just get a body lift.

I've got that same K&N setup on my 98 along with flowmaster and a high flow cat. I also went with the Granitelli MAF. the K&N will run you about 250-300. As far as headers go, I've found a set on ebay for $300 but I don't know how good they are. I'm seriously thinking about getting those and the Jacobs electronic ignition controller for $350. With just the K&N and the exhaust and Hypertech with the 160 degree thermo mine seems to run very well.
