cai and exhaust

now i know this seems like a repost 1000 times, but i searched awhile and cant seem to find what i need. im looking to do the cai and exhaust upgrade, but #1 is it worth the money i am gona spend for the rewards i get? also, what exactly can i expect. and # 2 im looking around at exhausts and i see alot of people recommend the ravin exhaust but im not sure im looking for anything real loud or noisy... im looking for an improvement but i hate hearing all those ricers with loud exhaust with no power to back it up. i know my blazer isnt fast and has a lil power, but i dont want to look like i think its a power house, ya know? any recomendations on quieter mufflers without loosing performance? and... should i just do muffler back, or cat back?

bump, cant any1 help?

if u want an exhaust thats not too loud got with gibson or dynomax. I'm very happy with my dynomax system. it only cost me $110 from jegs. Its a little louder than stock but it has a nice deep tone to it. Gibsons cat backs are about $260 but are probably the quietest exhaust out there. U don't have to buy a cat back system to get good power gains. u can just buy a good performance muffler and mate it to the stock piping.

Yes, the muffler upgrade and the CAI will help you.

Muffler first, I recommend the Ravin Z55 and then if you want, just drop in a K&N panel filer and do the air box mod.
