I am running mufflers with stock quad tips.
If you want the stock look you could slip onto each pipe a Y out into dual tips. Then you would have the freedom to chose tip style from the many available.

What kind of Headers do you have on your car 1 5/8 or 1 3/4 ???
Do you have an X, H or Y pipe and what diameter ???

I am running a full 3 inch custom mandrel bent exhaust with magnaflow 40 series mufflers. I can't imagine running with no muffler on the street, you better have ear plugs 
There are pics of my exhaust at:

I have an 86 with the Hedman elite headers. The headers are 1 5/8 and go into a straight dual setup back to eliminators. I had Flowmasters on for awhile but my buddy gave me his stainless elims so I decided to try them. At idle and cruising they sound no louder than my Flowmasters did, but when you get on it they are loud. I think they are a little too loud so I am probably going to put some different mufflers on for next season. Good winter project.

A very wise Corvette mechanic once told me that your car shouln't sound any louder than the horsepower it's making. In other words, if you have a 250 hp car, it shouldn't sound like it has 750 hp. That is the ricer-fart-pipe philosophy. I have a co-worker with a 750 rwhp Mustang, but the car sounds almost stock. Needless to say, he suprises a lot of people with loud exhausts. Buy some hi-flow cats, bud!
