Qaud tips or dual?
putting a new exhaust on the vert. So far, Borla stingers are the front runner. Quad tips or dual? Any advantage over one or the other? Just esthetics?

I like quad tips. They fill in the area back there better than twins. $.02

Just asthetics. I chose the GHL dual tips because they look a lot more unique in my opinion.

quad tips are a must! I almost went with the duals because of the price, but now I am glad I didnt. The stingers sound great!

Went with the quad tip stingers. Fills up that area a little better IMO. Nice sound too.

I like the quad look too. But you should just go with what YOU like.

Quad exhaust tips match the quad tail lights.

Duels are cool, but I personally prefer the quads.

Definitely dual tip! The average person can't tell you've changed anything if you go with the quad. Everyone knows Corvettes have quad exhaust and the Stingers sound like a Corvette should. So, unless you go dual they will assume it's stock exhaust.

For "aesthetics",
I prefer quad ovals.

They both look
but the quads fit the car from the rear view because they look meaner

fwiw i had quad oval stingers for a while and the tips didn't line up for sh|t even after aligning again and again. it was a manufacturing defect.
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.
