Default Quads or Duals??

Another member mentioned this question earlier today and this is a follow through.....I'm gonna get an exhaust system pretty soon myself and am curious about which type Corvette owners prefer.

Vote for the kind you prefer.

I voted for the quads because that is what I have. I actually like the looks of both of them. My buddy has the dual Borla Stingers and I like the way they look also.

My preference...Quads. The more I look at my stock exhaust with those relatively small pipes, the more I "need" some Borla's.

I am sure quads will win... I see very few duals.

I think duals look more unique

I like the quads as I imagine most non-vette owners must wonder where are these 4 pipes coming from?

I enjoy keeping them guessing

Quad's. The stock exhaust (even though pathetic) was quad, so that space is set up for quad to look better.

with Duals, unless the pipes are huge, just look to weak and skinny like somethings missing,
