2020 vs 2021 Exhaust Sound?

I was wondering if there is a sound difference in the 2020 vs 2021. I have replaced my 2020 muffler/tips with a 2021 and was curious about this. If anyone knows?

Thanks!

Best way to determine this is to acquire an HP/Agilent 3582A Audio Frequency Spectrum Analyzer and conduct a series of calibrated frequency versus amplitude scans on each exhaust system under various engine accelerations within an acoustic insulated/absorbing facility. Results will be indisputable to those who might argue otherwise.

According to Mercedes Parts Diagrams for a 2020 vs 2021 G63, the muffler + tip part numbers are the same, 463-490-78-01 for the Right Muffler, and 463-490-77-01 for the Left Muffler, so there should be no difference. I don't know if there were any different optional exhausts between those years though.
