The only thing I can guess is that it has to do with controlling the total sound output somehow, though I doubt with those tiny resonators that this thing will be quiet...
The car has Quad exhaust simply for the reason that the body kit calls for a quad exhaust. If people like the exhaust and want on of their own they can call GTM Motorsports and setup a time to have one made for their car.

Car is also VERY low and that tip location is higher than stock so a "traditional" muffler probably isn't going to fit. But basically it just looks really cool.

I guess my point is if you wanted quad tip you could have easily welded two dual-tips at the end of two pipes and shaved the weight of the extra two pipes and resonators.

What makes you think the twin resonators weigh more than the single muffler?

Regardless, do want the uniqueness.

I been thinking about the racing air ride system. All the pics/info i've seen on there product it looks like the best of all worlds. Great handling, smooth ride, and of cource being bagged out for supreme ride height adjustability. Look into a group buy maybe

Yea I called them yesterday. Looks like we can run full shockwave units all the way around! That means we can have the remote reservoir units for independent rebound and compression in a titanium housing!!! Along with the ride height adjustability!
