Fisher, are the external of the pre-05 and 05 exhaust entirely the same?

Wondering whether is there any changes in the internals?

The exhaust hangers were changed late in 2004.

The popping/burbling is due to ECU and timing changes.

And side-by-side in our driveway, the 2005 has a deeper tone. I don't know why, but my wifes 05 has a different, deeper tone than my 04.
