Mine didnt have it but I drilled a small hole for a borescope where the tail pipe meets the muffler. Peeked through to see if there was one then welded it back. If it does then just remove the tip side needed drill it out and vacuum.

So the ring could be in either side?

yes some of the 98-02 with slp dual dual catback came with a ring of silence not all only some, supposedly is in the driver side where the tail pipe conncets to the muffler inlet, I've read that if your tail pipe is cleaner than the other one then you have it or if it throws less air from the other one, the ring of silence reduces the restriction of the inside of the pipe to make it quieter supposedly

My understanding is if the SLP Dual / Dual was purchased directly from SLP it didn't have the Ring of Silence. The SLP Dual /Dual I bought direct that's on my TA didn't have a RoS.

The SLP D/D 's that came on the car as an installed option or part of the Firehawk package often have the RoS. I'm not sure of when the RoS was added. I think it was added due to a noise standard at some point during 4th gen fbody production.

The used SLP Dual /Dual on my 91RS had the RoS removed by the prior owner. When he added different tips. iIRC he said it was on the driver side.
