Had stock LT1 tips installed on my 86. I'd go with 4 tips. Two tips just doesn't look correct to me.

Anybody have video or a sound of eliminators on an LT1? I am doing it on Tuesday and want to be sure it will not be too loud. I want some noise but not teenager noise.

I had mine done also, looks just like rickreeves1. Great sound, a little loud when accelerating between 18-2100 rpm, also a little loud at steady 75 mph, but not bad.

No, mine were custom done at a local muffler shop. Resonance was not a big issue at all. I had a little resonance if it was in top gear cruising at around 45mph, so I would just downshift until I could go faster. Other than that, they were not too loud or annoying even on long cruises. And when you really stood on it, they sounded a bit like Denny Hamlin hitting the back straight at Daytona.
