Default Borla stinger-- Is 2 better than 4?

I am in the process of getting a new Borla Stinger exhaust for my 98 Vette. I have seen that there are two types of Stinger exhaust---the 2 and the 4 pipe outlet. My question is are there any differences or is one better than the other when it comes to the 2 and 4 pipe stingers.

Thanks for the help.

Really just boils down to appearance.

:iagree: + the 2-tips weigh about 4 lbs less than the 4-tips.

:iagree: All what you like...I like the 4 tip exhaust setup, others the 2. Other than the 4 extra lbs for the 4, just a personal choice.

No real difference as far as sound goes. Some folks will agrgue that is a bit deeper tone, but i think its different from car to car.
I a four tip kinda guy myself.

The two-tips actually accelerate the exhaust gases out the rear of the car and add 2-3 hp of thrust.

:lol: :smash: :jester

Plus, I like the cannon-look affect it has on the driver's behind you.
