How can I tell if my 98 is a real SS ??
i just bought a 98 SS, and was wondering if anyone can tell me if it is a real one or not, how do i tell?? i thought the SS with ram air had a ram-air intake, this one has one that looks like the z28's??? Anyone know?? it has SS badges, and SS hood, just not too sure?? thanks.

Yup, WU8 and the RPO codes are inside the drivers door jam. The 98+ SSs air box looks similar to the Z28s air box except for a rubber strip under the opening to the air box which I would assume is to help direct the air from the hood into the intake.

Do you still have the stock exhaust? It should be a single tip exhaust. Most people tore it off almost immediately and replaced it with an aftermarket dual tip system. That exhaust was only installed in 98' on SS cars. I believe SLP had an option later towards the end of 98' to replace that system with a dual tip SLP system.
Also- your rims will have a GM stamp. That was the first year GM made their own ZR-1 style rims. Earlier OEM rims had the previous company's stamp. Chrome wheels became an option towards the end of the year.
