Dual Tips or Quad Tips- Which is more popular?
2 or 4 tips? Which is more popular? I imagine tips dont affect how it sounds- correct?

4 tips are more popular but 2 tips saves weight.
No diff in sound.

you think it would be harder to re-sell a Bullets exhaust with 2 tips vs. 4?

It only takes one buyer. I'm sure there are members that will go with the dual vs. the quad. Good luck - Give it a shot.

I would guess four tips just based upon my informal observations on this forum the last several years.
Here's a picture of mine, in case it helps.

I would say quad tips are more popular as they are how the car came stock and most people want to retain a similar look IMHO.

I wanted 4, like the stock, but I got a good deal on the Corsa duals.
I get allot of compliments with the duals and I think it looks more powerful {IMO].

And with them in the middle of the car, they look better I think. If they were on the outside, I'd prefer singles.

I'm sure 4 tips are more popular and I do like the the look BUT I must say that once I installed the 2 tips on my car, I like it much better. I've had many compliments on the way the 2 tips look and was even chased down by a guy wanting to know exactly what system I have installed.

As stated above, the quad tips are more popular. Sitting side by side in the garage, std C6 with Corsa Quads and C6 ZO6 with dual tips, I like both. The ZO has a nice clean look with the duals. No mufflers showing. I thought at first you would see too much of the differential assembly. Not so. It looks good.

I think two tips look better than four. Why have quad tips when you only have dual exhaust?

I'll take 2 please. I'll put on another 2 if I ever get 4 pipes
