I thought this to be the hardest part of the decision...i chose quad ovals because it goes with the four oval taillights...the rounds look out of place. i like the twin system but am too used to my 4 tips.

Quad ovals here. Like the look versus the round.

My two tip Stingers should arrive tomorrow....might even get a little (read: a lot) help installing them tomorrow as well. I will probably waste a bit of gas listening to them the first week or so.

I have dual tip GHLs...I chose dual instead of quad because it looks more unique to me. You don't see as many duals around.

Borla (because it is a quailty brand) duals (round) because they were less expensive than the quads and louder than the quads (or so I was/am told).

Go with the GHL's. They make Borla's. I have the Dual tip Magnum plus system and they sound beautiful and look great. I also don't like how the Borlas tips stick out so far from the back.

I went the quad ovals from Borla. Had them done at Carlisle. I like the look of the quads. That doesn't mean you will though. This topic rears its head every few weeks. The important thing is do what YOU think is best for you. At the end of the day, it's not the forum members that see the pipes when you put the car away.

I like the round look but I am a little bias since I have the 2 tip round on my vette.

As for 2 or 4 tips that is a flip of the coin

Hey Prosecutor,

No "probably" about it. My mileage went from around 22-23 in the city down to 16-17 running around in 2nd and 3rd gear all the time. Man, that sound is awesome. Got the Pro-tip Corsa's (quad round tips) last week and have been grinning ever since...

I don't have the Borla's (have B&Bs instead), but I'm partial to the quad oval look. Just fills up the exhaust space very well.
