Both aregood looking. But if you like the conventional look. Go with quads, if you like to have the bazooka look-duals it is. BTW, I have duals. And like the other member said, they are cheaper and easier to align.

Naturally, it's a personal choice. But, I'll take the quad tips.

if i were going to get stingers, i would get dual rounds because those would be much simpler to hide the fact that they weren't manufactured properly.
I like quads but I'm considering duals partly because of the alignment thing

Is there any noticeable sound and air-flow difference between quads and duals? I'm in the process of deciding on GHL's or Borla's. Once I decide on the brand, my next decision will be quads or duals. I like both. I also like that duals will save me a few bucks and they align easier.

I like the look of the quads . And you are right about the duals and everyone knowing it is not stock. But i have always like the sleeper look. With one look everyone knows that your vette is hot
Me i just like that good kinda feeling that they don't
