Default What year did they change exhaust to rectangles?

I'm trying to figure out what year they changed the exhausts on the 350 to the new recessed rectangles?

Was it in the 3rd Gen body style at all or just for the 4th Gen body?

Ok thanks guys. I love the 4th Gen exhaust but I actually like the 3rd Gen body style a LOT more. Looks like the 2007 350 for me for sure at this point.

Nice mod!

So what is required, new tips & a new aftermarket bumper? Is it possible to custom fit a Gen 4 bumper on Gen 3 somehow?

Or are you talking having to have a new custom bumper made of fiberglass to accept the tips?

I think it's always so hard to match any color on a new part perfectly without painting the entire car. Had some body work done recently & the guy did a good job, but the paint is just slightly off. (I can notice it, most people couldn't)

Either way this is at least a $500+ upgrade?
