My vote is for quads, To me dual just seem not to balance out at all. And the speedway tips are a definite no for me.
Just my opinion.

I love the look of quads, but....there is one set of duals that has really grown on me; The Calloway "Dual D's" look OUTSTANDING! Hey, a guy can like more then one, can't he? It's like saying you can only like one kind of cake and we know that's not possible.

6 - too many
2 - too few
4 - JUST RIGHT

It is amazing how many "women" I have had mention how much they like the look of my CORSA Tiger Sharks since I installed them? They have mentioned those more than any other mod I have done?

I like 'em both. I've seen them both done very well. If I had to choose between two clean installations - quads or duals - I would lean towards the quads.

Gotta go with the Quads!!

OR the dual speedway tips...

Regular dual doesn't fill it up enough!

as others have said...quads help to fill out that huge space in the back. My corsas after 3 years on the car, still shine up very nice after some brasso or wd40. (shot of one side)

I have to come to the defense of the dual tip fans. I have the Corsa Pace Car exhaust with Daytona tips which looks awesome and is quite rare so that's a plus. I'd love to post pictures, but I'm at work and they block everything here so you'll have to take my
word

I like both, but since my car came with dual tip 4" stingers, they've grown on me. I always thought I would have had quads on my Vette before I got it but the duals look cool/better to me now. I like the two big pipes out back, kinda gives it a different look I think...rugged/tough

it also may be the fact that i didnt have to spend $800 on a cat back
