And even if they were a round shape, the car would make the exact same power. Plus they have been doing this on other cars for decades. 04-06 GTO, older Camaro's/Trans AM's, Silverado's, etc.
It only really starts to matter once you start pushing 200 or more rwhp and even if the car had a normal oval exhaust, it's going to be changed out by that point anyways.
The real reason why it's like this is because of the convertible. They have a brace there and need this crimp there. So they didn't make 2 separate productions of exhaust for the convertible and coupe. It only really makes the sound different.
