Greetings all,

I just picked up my new 2021 Trailblazer LT in Iridescent White Pearl this past weekend.

I'm already looking to buy some accessories and mods, if any exist yet. Loving the trailblazer so far.

Thanks

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new Trailblazer. There's a few accessories, but the aftermarket is slow to catch up due to all the covid delays.

Well it's probably a good thing that the upgrades come slow.

Not if you are dying to customize... i spend at least an hour a week searching the web for stuff

Oh man, is it that bad? I guess I'll have to start off with common accessories until the aftermarket catches up.

There is a handful of stuff from overseas, but nothing spectacular. Heck, we just now finally got a K&N air filter listing but they havent started shipping yet. if you look through the forum here there is some accessories, but they are mostly boring at this point. Covid really slowed things down.

That's crazy, I really expected BNR or other tuning companies to get into this platform since it's now in 3 different vehicles.

I did see that Ebay has some of the knock off cold air intakes... i might buy one and see if it works out or not.

 

[JoeyTB]

eBay can be hit or miss in my experience, but it's worth a chance if there's nothing else coming for a while.

If i buy it, then i will definitely swap out the cone filter it comes with for a K&N cone. i dont trust those cheap cone filters. wouldnt mine finding some red break caliper covers though.

 

[JoeyTB]

Yeah, I don't trust those cheap cone filters either. Please keep us posted if the intake works out.

GM is using encrypted software that's very hard to crack. My guess is that it will take a few years before anyone offers a tune for the Trailblazer. It's also possible nobody will do it unless the demand is there. The C8 for example can't be tuned at all. GM locked it down pretty good. I'm hoping that someone like K&N or AFE will make a intake kit for us. The exhaust system is very simple so making your own system won't be very hard. I'm starting to build my own exhaust right, just waiting on more stainless steel tubing.

I think that the 2018 Trax had encrypted software also, and i was able to get a flash from Trifecta Performance.

But what i really want is a way to disable to the auto shutoff

There are a few companies out there who make a plug in harness that disables the auto start/stop. I contacted 2 of them and they were happy to make one for us, but they wanted me to bring my Trailblazer in which posed a big problem. They're on the east coast and I'm west coast so that didn't work, lol. Maybe someone here who lives back east can offer up their Trailblazer?

Trifecta makes tunes for several vehicles, but their tune will void your warranty since the computer records any aftermarket tune that alters the factory tune. GM techs can see the history even if you remove the tune before taking it in for any work. This is the main reason why I haven't pulled the trigger on one of their tunes for my ZR2. Once that warranty is gone, it's time to have fun. 😎

Actually i just emailed them and they said they dont have any plans for the TB .. so that rules them out.. But i was quite happy with the tune in the Trax, it definitely breathed new life in to that thing, and the shift points were so quick that i could scratch a 2nd.

Welcome to the group. Mods have been quite slow coming out but there is enough to keep you busy depending on what you want to do of course.

I don’t know how the hell I would install them, but if you ever find red caliper covers please post them.

I haven't seen any, but you could always paint the stock calibers.
