Some SSes got the high performance exhausts and some did not. Mine
has the CME and its muffler is substantially larger, stainless and has a
"hand-built" look to it. I am not sure, but to the eye the exit plumbing
seems larger diameter as well.

The factory stock SS exhaust was duel with single round chrome tips. I've heard factory stock Z28 exhaust next to a factory stock SS exhaust and the SS sounded just a bit louder.

Yeah base SS exhaust is slightly different from the Z28 muffler, most notably the tips. SLP offered the Dual Dual catback as an option on the SS though.

The ss's that came with the optional dual/dual exhaust should have it listed on the slp options list on the door. It will sound a bit deeper then stock but is still fairly quiet compared to other aftermarket exhausts and flows fairly well. Supposedly it is the slp powerflo muffler that is used for the dual/dual exhaust.
