Default quad tips vs dual tips, what is your preference?

Hello forum members. I am getting ready to invest in a aftermarket exhaust system and find myself slightly partial to the dual tip set up over the quad tip setup. I am curious as to what some of you would prefer. Quad or dual tips? Also could any one who has dual tips post some pictures of their exhaust set up. Thanks in advance.

I like the way quads fill up the space and that's why I chose the Borla Quad-round. Lots of vehicles have dual round; few have quads.

Quads all the way. The rear bumper opening was designed for quads and it looks best that way.

Here are some dual tips that look fantastic (spaced closer together than usual). Very supercar like... I hope "imflyinbiya" doesn't mind me posting pics of his Vette.

Neither go with some speedway tips they contour to the rear much better then 2 or 4 tips and you will get compliments almost daily.
