Well, I can't tell what those look like from that angle, but I don't think mine are offset like that. Just went and measured them, they're 2.5" each and don't look like that. Mine look like this (lol yes, this is a horrible "drawing")

However, my exhaust is older as well. So that could be the updated style *shrug*

they're SLP and stainless, and almost brand new..so i dont think 50 bucks [pluss shipping was too much for em..considering i see new SLP dual tips go for 50-60 bucks a piece.

No, that was a good price. Most nice dual tips of even the cheap brand, cost $40 for ONE.

You have stock dual with chrome rolled edges that came on 93-95 LT1's. SLP dual/dual are slash cut tips and dont look as good as yours IMO. I kept my stock tips from my 94 bird before I tossed the muffler because they are rare.

Oh, well then, it must just be the SLP muffler that's on my car. The guy I got it from said it had SLP exhaust. And the previous-previous owner had a highflow cat and Hypertech chip in it, which they removed BOTH to pass emissions :\ At least the cat I have in it will last awhile and I know it's not clogged.

I do like how these look. I have some of the oval mouthed ones from newer years, these I think are off a Grand XXXX GT. They're not as wide.

I saw that listed in Y2K's RPO scans. What is that? (Mines a 93, so it most likely wasn't an option back then, still should bolt up in back no prob)

Yes, as for the front there are different style ground effects for LT1's there were on the 97 V6's a friend of mine she had them on her 97 v6 maybe there were only offered on the 97 and up.

well i go the tips, they are actually bigger than the stock chromes, and are 2 1/2 inch outlets, stainless, and shiny as hell

On a side note my rx7 just did a 12.2 pass on nothing but open exhaust, intake, and ignition at stock 10psi boost FOR SALE!!!
