I think its all preference...my likes are the 4 tip as it looks better then the Caddy exhaust tips but still has a stock feel.

I went with the quad tips. They are, however, harder to get aligned properly, as Bowhunter2001 will agree...

Forums come back up and I am glad to see all the responses. Like I said, I am very new to all this, so I really wasn't sure. Thanks for the info, now I will just have to look at some pics and see what I like better.

Thanks
Anthony

2 tips is when you tip not knowing that your wife already tipped.
4 tips is when you and 3 of your buddies are drunk on your azzs
and everyone tips.

Hmm... after reading more and more, and listening to some clips on YouTube, I am starting to look seriously at the B&B Bullets. A few hundred dollars cheaper and louder

I have stock headers, so it shouldn't be completely unbearable.
