Lightbulb How do i know if my SLP 2OTL has a silencer in it????

I bought mine off an SS and its very quiet IMO. Even with headers gutted cat, etc etc.

So how do i know if it has one or not and can i remove it and how?

to know, you'd have to know what year the ss was and what the build number was. I was under the impression that the first 1500 SS's made in 96 didnt have the silencer. All the 97 SS's had it as well as the ones SLP sells new.

Here is a random site with some info from a simple "Google" search:

SLP had said some time ago that the aftermarket units they sell do not have the cone. Aftermarket is not worried about loudness of an exhaust. The cone was inserted on the factory cars.
