MFG date for 04.5 is Jan. 04' or later. Any 04 made in 03' is a 305/555.

Look at the engine tag, the tq will be 600/625. If it has a cat and an electronic wastegate, it's an 04.5.

The engine tag also says 325hp and you will definitly notice the cat under the front passenger side. I guess the 600/625 was a typo.
