you need to unbolt the housing and replace it with an adaptor meant for a camaro. the truck part is there to clear the front driveshaft in the blazer. A good auto parts store should know what you need.

i am using summit brand headers and a blazer filter but there is only like 1 3/4 inches of clearance. i went to the parts store but they said they couldn't find what i need. i am going to try a different store today but if anyone know a part number that would be very helpful. thanks for the answers
