My '97 SS has duals with resonators directly behind the dual tips... no pics right now tho. I'll see if I can get one tomorrow.

The SS window sticker calls it a "Optional Performance Exhaust System".

My Sebring '97 had the 2OTL cat-back and it performed quite well with it. It wasn't a big head turner as people didn't really like the look of two pipes on one side but I kept the system all the way up until I wen't FI on that car with no complaints. With the LT's and ORY it sounded perfect IMO!

Hey guys just an FYI but the SOTL for `98's was a GM Factory Catback std on SS and WS6's (NOT SLP)
Also seen my share of Factory `97 SS and WS6's with the SLP Powerflo Dual Dual exhaust. So it was not limited to LT4 SS's.

What? Please show me a 100% stock 97 SS with this exhaust?

Base LT1 SS exhaust for 1997 was the TOTL (305hp)

Upgrade LT1 SS exhaust for 1997 was the Dual-Dual (310hp)

Base (only exhaust) LT4 SS exhaust for 1997 was the Dual-Dual (330hp)

The only reference I have seen where the SS may have some connection to the base z28 exhaust (dual rectangular tips) was in the SLP bulletin dated July 16(?) 1996, other than that, I have never seen an SS with this Z28 exhaust. If I am wrong, please show me with data.

The TOTL was never the standard exhaust unless they started that late in the 97 model year. All through 96 and up into 97 the standard exhaust was the GM exhaust not the TOTL. This was true for all SLP cars. Reason why you had a 305 and 310hp SS. I saw them new on the lot like this and yes they were real SS cars from GM/SLP.

Here is a pic of a 30th anniversary SS with stock exhaust. I found this for sale on corvettesandclassics.net. From what I have read most of the Anniversary Editions have the upgraded SLP exhaust which make the stock exhaust equipped cars very rare. Of the 957 1997 30th Anniversary SS cars, 871 had the optional SLP exhaust. (i found that last bit of info on camaros.net.
