What type of lid do you have????
So you have an 01 Forumla ?
ONLY SS and Firehawk were touched with SLP parts in that year.
And the Blackwing was the only "other" lid used by GM.
And to get the Blackwing....You had to get either a Firehawk or an SS with the 345hp option.
Either you bought your car used or if you bought it new someone swapped the lid.
An someones been BS'ing you.
By the way....that Maple red is beautiful !

that's my lid. it came stock with the f-body along with the dual/dual. notice, it is NOT a blackwing lid. it is the same aftermarket lid that you get from SLP and was put on stock by the general.
here's a pick of my dual/dual that came with it:

Unclasp the lid....
Position or have someone shine a " bright " flashlight....On the rear of the lid....
Down low and under the neck....On both sides....
While they are doing that....You lift the front of the lid up just enough to peak inside....
Do you see the gap or the light shinning thru ??....
The odds are you do !....
This means you sucking dirty unfiltered air into your engine....

That's exactly what I was going to say about the lid and exhaust. The previous owner had to of put them on. The dual/dual is a nice catback its just too quiet for me. I kinda wish I wolud of kept it and just put long tubes on but oh well.

Light test is a good idea. Another one is the smoke test. Move a cigarette all around the lid at both ends while revving the engine. If any smoke gets sucked up, it is not sealed perfectly. Do some rigging and try again until the smoke doesn't get sucked in. Seems to have worked for me...
