I'm in for the 2 tip. The 4 tip looks horrible IMO.

For that setup, I'd go for 2 TIP - very unique!!

The 2 tip looks better but I don't want to cut up my Corsa exhaust. I'd rather have the four tip. Then I don't have to pay for the exhaust work.

I think the 2 tip looks way better. I have a four tip exhaust now, but really, any decent muffler shop can modify the tips to fit the opening regardless of the specific exhaust you have - it's just the tips, no need to change the whole system.

Two looks great but I have 4 so I want 4. I will push my 4 closer together for a meet in the middle solution(no pun intended). And if I have to hack off and close the one tip to fit the 2 tip outlet it's not like all 4 are indiviually functional!

BTW, overall 2 tip sales are only <4 % total exhaust sales. You may want to consider that you are cutting out 95+% of the total exhausts out there...(for our sales)

Peace

PS: Do you EVER sleep???
That's a good question indeed.... I assume it can but I have nothing to back that up. I was just planning on doing it since Quik can get parts made at a ridiculous price compared to what we are used to. Seems like the numbers for diffuser interest are great. Interesting to see what our man Pete comes back with as far as both being made.

Do you have a side shot?

Thanks,Matt
Hey Matt. I agree like Stroked408 said, "night and day". As far as preference but they both look great as 02MillenniumVette did a great job!

Keep showin the interest folks! Thanks to those that have already voted!

I like the idea of the black out valance. Wasn't somebody doing these awhile back for like $300.

Maybe it's just the PS but it looks very bulky and doesn't flow with the rest of the car.

It also looks like the part that goes under the exhaust is too big and on cars that are slammed may hit going out driveways etc.

Im definetly down for one at that cost!!! Put me on the list for a black fiberglass two tip design! What size do the tipw need to be? I have the Borla dual exit 4" tips. Will these work if I can get a custom weld job?

I opt for the 4 tip.....Got too much money wrapped up in exhaust system to have to modify my tips to fit. Maybe not a big deal for some, but a big deal to me. Seems like I see way more four tip exhausts than I do two tip anyway.

I say just produce both. Just not so many of the two tips as the four tips. LOL

I vote 4 tip. If it didn't stick out so far I would get one if offered in 4 tip. I will need to se this in person before ordering one. I'm DEFINITELY NOT in if it is only offered in the 2 tip.
