Oval or round exhaust tips
This is driving me insane. Does the 2004 corvette come with oval or round exhaust tips like the z06? I have had so many mixed answers. Thanks in advance

2004 has six square taillights. They ran out during production and used dome light lenses painted red.

My non Z06 has round. I could not imagine how oval would ride.

He obviously means exhaust tips, Z06 titaniums are round, non-Z06 are oval, right?

I would argue that it was not obvious, but would agree with Z06 titaniums being round and factory non-Z06 oval. A cursory google image search of 2004 Corvette rear view shows a plethora of each, most with appropriate labeling.

this makes sense, but you have to agree that the way he asked the question was almost like a riddle.😂

I kind of figured this was what he was asking about, though not obvious, but very poor way to ask, but he is a self-admitted screw loose...

Only Z06 exhaust tips were round. non-ZO6 had the oval tips which I hate especially if they're black.
