Mine has a straight pipe. Of course its strictly for offroad use
I have a 1995 also. No check engine light at all. The big difference is the sound of the exhaust, it really opened up. Not loud at all, cause the muffler is just a muffler man special. But I have had several people ask what kind of exhaust I have.
Ill tell ya right now what most people are going to say:
1. There wont be any performance difference.
2. If your cat is bad its cause of something else. Fix that and replace the cat with some $400 one.
3. Youve already herd "Its illegal".
4. Youll have a check engine light on all the time.
5. Im telling the cops. J/K
Heres what I say. If your getting tailpipe tested, you gotta have one, cause otherwise you'll fail.
If not do your thing. Yes its illegal. So is speeding, and so is being drunk in public but that never stopped anyone.
AFAIK 95's are OBD1.5 and you wont get a check engine light cause the after cat sensor is not used. If you do get the light, do a
Search on the internet. For like $30 you can get the bypass thingy.
And as far as performance, I cant say anything about 1/4 mile or HP. Cause, c'mon its a blazer. But what I can say is, after I took mine off I gained like 2 mpg overall. And when I punch it, it just plain feels good
