Note that they did this essentially as an FYI. They have no dog in the fight, but were probably just curious like the rest of us.

Facts:
Oval pipes flow just as well as round.
Factory oval pipe sections do not hurt performance.
Likely helps ground clearance.

If it just bothers you, then fine, change it. Know that you are only changing them and spending money, time, and effort for your own OCD tendencies.

You asked for opinions and I have one, though. Good luck.
But the crushed Zone is not oval, its crushed and does disrupt flow and sound
