I’ve got oval quads and love ‘em.

I saw a post where a member went from duals to quads(sponsored) and said the quads weren’t as loud. But the mufflers were brand new too.

As for performance – it’s got to be insignificant and probably wouldn’t show up on a dyno.

When I first saw the duals, I didn't like them, didn't want to have 2 tips when I could have 4, but now the longer I see them, the better they start to look. Geez, maybe I've been drinking. :D

I don't want to start a war and this is probably the only post I will make on the subject. I previously had the Borla T1 Race System (not Stinger). It was junk! Maybe Stinger is better. However, I have a Corsa TI (titanium) Street System, that with 10,000 miles on it, is unquestionablely the best exhaust system I've ever had. I have twin pipes too, which look very similar to the pictures above. I did a review last year and stand by every word. It's quiet when you need it to be and wild when you punch it. With long-tube headers and a supercharger, I'm running 459 RWHP. It may be more expensive than comparable systems but's it's worth every penny.

I guess you're in good company with dual cannons!


The 350Z Twin Cannons

The G35 Twin Cannons

Don't forget the new Lexus convertible as well (no pics yet)

Me - I'm going for the Quad Cannons!

Since the Y in the quads is behind all of the other restrictive components, I don't see this as being a factor in performance. I have read that there is less resonation with quads. I don't know. I love the quads.

Hey, no insult taken here. I drove a 300ZX for 13 years and, in every way except power, it was twice the car the vette is. Quality and design were awesome. In fact, if it weren't for price, I'd be driving a 350Z now for my daily driver instead of the '03 Stang GT which pales in comparison to both the others.

If we're going to start comparing feature for feature on cars, how do you explain the fact that both have four wheels? :D Kind of a weak case if you ask me. :yesnod:

Hey it's all good. To each his own. :cheers:
