Default slp dual dual-cone of silence, how do you know you have it?

I have heard that the already quiet slp dual dual catback sometimes came with a cone, to silence the sound, does anyone know if theres any way I can check to see if my car has it without taking apart my exhaust?

The only way I know of is if there is one of your exhaust tips that is constantly cleaner than the other. The "cone" or "ring" of silence is only present on one side of the tailpipes so that one will be cleaner.

Put a wire down the pipe on the driver side and if it jams before it gets in the muffler, there is a good chance you have it. It looks like this:

I heard that the cone was mostly just on the factory installed systems... due to meeting noise requirements? I hear some weird **** sometimes so I'm probably wrong

How far down the tail pipe is this "Cone of Silence"? I ran a cloths hanger down my drivers side tail pipe and it went through until the bend with no restrictions? is it in the straight part of the pipe or in the bend right at the muffler exit?
