I think I would check both sides. The one I saw stay clean on one side was clean on the drivers side.

I have a 02 Firehawk with the SLP Dual/Dual. SLP told me that this system was used because GM wanted it quieter. They do have another system other than the loudmouth that is slightly louder and a few more horses. But for the cost and effort not really worth it.
As I have posted in another thread, I am looking for an exhaust that is louder than my current but not as much as the loudmouth (I haven't heard it myself but understand it to be quite loud) and without decreasing my current horsepower. Magnaflow and Borla are options and any suggestions are greater appreciated.

The Magnaflow catback is very popular, made of highly polished stainless steel, and sells for around $350 online. Its possibly the best flowing cat-back on the market, usually only losing a coupe of horsepower over an open cutout.
There are some sound clips of all of the exhaust systems mentioned as well as many others at LS1 Sounds if you would like to check them out.
Also, you will be able to offset the cost of a new system by selling your old dual/dual. If you go this route, let me know! I am currently in the market for one, although I may have found a seller in Michigan.
