Default Borla exhaust....quad tips or double tips

I have an '01 Quiksilver Coupe, on which the previous owner put a Borla system with the dual-tips. So I am curious what the quads would look like (pics please if you have them) and sound like compared to the dual tips. I cannot imagine the sound being that much different, but it never hurts to ask.

Thanks,
Cuzzman

I think the 4 tip exhaust is the trademark of the C5!

Looks better than the 2 tip that is so commom with other cars. Just my .02

I had the two-tip Stingers, and like them best. Now have a Magnaflow, and love the sound, but would prefer only two tips.
