I'm getting the Corsa Pace/quad tips, ASAP. Right now, straight pipes!

No advantage just looks.
Take pictures of both set ups put them side by side and that should help with your decision.

I have the quads but you definitely bring up a valid point I liked at first the stock sleeper look. But know since i have twin turbos i just may eventually get rid of the B&B Prt's and go for a more aggressive look that the duals will give.

You have to get what I've got because it's the best! If you get something other than what I've got, you've made a bad choice!

I'm sorry but those single pipe Borla's look like ricer fart coffee cans. Every time I look at them I laugh. Corsa Pace car is the only way to go.

Quads. If.. no when I change my OE exhaust it will have to be quads, unless I get a killer deal on duals....

quad are great if you can get them to line up straight. i had borla stingers and i never could.

i'd get dual round tips, those should be easy to make look aligned straight.

Don't know if there is a advantage one over the other, but quads fill up the back of the car and look more aggressive to me. As far as stock quads compared to aftermarket quads, you can tell the difference for sure.
