Default Borla Stinger - oval vs round

Does anyone have pics of each of the quad tip stinger type styles. To me, on the Borla site, they look the same. Yet, they indicate two differnt type styles available for the stingers. Part numbers are 140038 (round tip) and 140039 (oval tip).

Thanks.

140039 above

140038 are the round cut at a slight angle.

Last time I checked, the Borla pictures are way off. The tips are a different type of oval (taller) and are not spaced as close as the picture suggests. Here are 4 tip ovals

I like the round over the oval, but they both look and sound GREAT!

i went with the quad ovals because i liked the way they married up with the C5's oval tail lights ! more importantly,make sure whoever does your install aligns the tips properly !!!and,yeah;which ever set you decide on,they sound great !

^ old borlas never seem to align correctly, just like that.

Maybe the new ones are better
