Default '91 ZR1 different Mufflers and Control Arms?

My apologies if this is a dumb question but I have been looking at 90-92 years and I noticed in the underbody pics of a few '91's some have the rectangle muffler and some have the double pipes on each side.
Also, I see some control arms are black and others are silver.
Was this an option or part of a package or color combo?

Thanks for the information.

Brad

Please disregard the control arm question. It seems I was looking at some that were were not as clean as others so what looked like black was dirty silver

All 1990-1995 ZR-1's stock mufflers had double pipes on each side

The older I get the faster I was.

Thanks for the information Mr. Yuck.

Here are pics of a '91 and a '95 with the rectangle muffler outlets.

Yes, that's not stock. Some people liked the LT-1 rectangular look so they replaced the mufflers or added muffler eliminators rectangular.

The sketchs from the parts books may show 2 pipes per side, but my 92 came stock with rectangular tips as shown in the actual pictures above.

Then I would say it was fitted with LT1 mufflers from the factory Possible part shortage? I was actually at the factory in 1992,1993 and1994 To watch the ZR-1's being built and all the ones I saw come off the assembly line had dual tipped mufflers. Rectangular mufflers Outlets are listed with GM for (LT1's) only. Hope you held onto the stock exhaust it's gonna be worth money. I would love to see your VIN and check the rpo codes.
