yeah, i've never heard of this either, and i've spent several months on this and a few other fbody message boards trying to learn anything and everything about my car. i have a 2002 camaro ss with the slp dual dual exhaust from the factory, however the car was manufactured in the end of 2001. do you think my car has it?

The quickest way to tell is to put you hand down by the tail pipes while it's running. If there is significantly more pressure coming out the passenger side then you have it. And the other thing is if the passenger side is dirty.
It will be really obvious to you. If it's not then you don't have it.

Many of the local folks by me running headers and no cats had to run the SLP dual dual since it was one of the few exhausts that would pass tech inspection at Raceway Park.

Update UPDATE!! I have removed the Ring of Silence. I have video taped before and after footage. I have transferred the footage to dvd using my DVD Recorder. Now I just have to figure out how to get it onto my computer and then I'll post it up.
In general I think it is a little bit louder, it's more like it was before only in Stereo and deeper. Not sure if you'll be able to tell from the footage.

I was wondering if the pipe could be cut with a pip cutter and then clamped back into place. I have a cutter and am too lazy to go somewhere to have it welded. On my 2000 it looks like a welded slip fit with about 2" slip. Instead of hacking it off maybe its possible to just cut the outter piece.
This whole subject shows just how
some exhaust designers are. I mean "Oh it's too loud, so hey lets just block it off". idiots..
