Zilla...can u confirm that those beauties are Borla's? When I view the duals on different posts it appears that there are a few brands/styles. Are the dual Borlas all 4", angle cut and rolled tips (assuming rolled tips gives the appearance of an inner ring)?

All...what vendor has provided the best GP price and how much?

Thx...Dave

Yes they are Borlas you can see the word BORLA on the exhaust.
I have had them for two years now and love them
I like when heads turn when you go WOT

I got the Borlas with the round tips and I know that Borla offers an Oval tip also

Here is a link to Borlas website and it show a few different type of tips. All you need to do is select the submodel

I really like the quad tips better. I almost went with the dual tip version of the B&B Bullets, Just for the fact that the dual tip version was cheaper (err more affordable) than the quad tips. But I'm glad I didn't let that affect my final decision. Quads just look so much better.

I honestly don't think anyone would mistake the sound of my Borlas for stock exhaust. I originally bought dual tips, was taking them out of the box to install and my wife came out to watch. She said "why are you changing from 4 to 2 tips when the 4 look so good and fill the space below the plate?" I said "DOH!", put them back in the box and ordered the quad ovals I sold the dual tips on eBay in 3 days.

I agree 100% but what I said was they think the sound of Borlas is what a Corvette should sound like, so to the uninformed they think it's stock. Most folks don't expect a Vette to sound like a Cadillac.

It's personal preference...
I think duals are more intimidating....
IT's the big bore philosophy....
What intimidates you more... looking down the barrel of a ..410 guage shotgun, a 16 guage shotgun or a 10 guage shotgun???
The bigger the bore, the more intimidating....

dude... go with what sounds better... I have a corsa exhaust system with quad tips and my ride sounds like a ferrari... it's got a nice, subtle rumble like a volcano fixing to erupt... it's nice.

I think I am the only person that has posted so far that prefer DUALS over the QUADS and that is why I am holding off on installing my Tis and running my BORLA straight pipes on my car...trust me, SLP longtubes, and no mufflers = LOUD!

Four Lights, Four Tips, I like how everything comes together. I have B&B bullets and most people think they have Bad Azz sound and know they are not stock.

I have quad ovals. They fill the area better and I think they are classier looking. They do weight a little more, but not enough to worry about IMHO.
