Default Center Exhaust

How can I identify an original SLP center exhaust that was an option on the SS?

The valance will have a slp sticker on the backside, Not sure if there is any part numbers molded into the backside, id have to go crawl under my car and have a look, i dont think so but could be wrong. It will also be a thicker plastic then the 6le valance, but without them both being there it will be hard to judge.

As far as the actual exhaust goes, it was the dual/dual with the 90* bends going to the cme tips.

Stock style tips look like this

Not all have the extra brace welded inbetween the outlets.

If the brace is welded, it's not the "factory" (SLP installed
on production ordered vehicles) piece, those are straight
cast. The band clamps in that pic are also not what was
used, it's round crush clamps (forget disassembling).

I was using the picture as a reference to what the tips will look like as opposed to the aftermarket ones out there, obviously it is not a factory exhaust...

Also just because it is welded does not mean it is not a factoy piece, it could have been welded after the fact. They are well known to break....
