Should be here anyday, now I just need to order a new tailpipe. I might have my mechanic order the right one since I don't really trust those universal 4 piece kits.
I ordered a 2.50 in/out so I can upgrade the tailpipe to a 2.50 matching with the rest of the truck. I'm getting the idea now to put a 3" tailpipe instead and have it go to a 4" tip. Would 3" look too big?

You'll gain nothing from a 3" tailpipe, stick with 2.5" max and use a 3" tip on it if you want to.

Yeah, that was my original plan, but I found 2.5' in and 4" out which is pretty cool.

I think a 3" tip would look good off of a 2.5" pipe on the blazer. Maybe if you had a fullsize truck a 4" tip might look alright.

Yeah, I was looking at it today and realized a 4" tip is gonna be huge.. I found a 3" tip that I might buy anyway.

I think a 4 inch exhaust would actually work against your motor...

Well I just mean a 4" tip but the tail pipe itself is 2.50"

True.
But a 2.5 tail pipe with a 3" tip might look too big? I atleast want something on the end to make the exhaust look noticeable and modded in some way. And I think the longer tips deepen the tone.
