Hey guys,
new here. I have an exhaust question. I just finished putting a magna flow cat back system on my 2dr 1994 Chevy full size Blazer 5.7 350 tbi, to replace my completely rusted out stock parts. Now its on to my cat and y-pipe. My cat is rattling like crazy, and driving me crazy at the same time. So I have ordered a universal magnaflow cat, as well as flowmaster y collector. Here is the link to the collector -
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001NRXA2O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So, my question is what else do I need. I am planning on going to a muffler shop to get the work done since I cannot weld in my parking lot. Im guessing it shouldn't be a big deal for them to bend up a y-pipe for me, but what about the O2 sensor?
Also, does this route seem logical or should I have just gone with a direct fit cat? I want to take care of as much of that crappy restrictive stock exhaust as possible, but wasn't sure how much work was going to be needed to make a universal cat work. Is the money i saved on those parts going to be lost in the labor to instal?
Sorry if this is a repeated scenario. I have done my research, but sometimes I just like to hear from others on forums rather than going thru so much of the general webpages for help
Thank you for any help you can provide!
OH! one last thing, I am not going to do headers at this point since my engine is not built up that much yet, so i do not see them as necessary, and my manifolds are still in decent shape.
