^ Or how about the fact that singles usually make power and duals usually don't. Before anybody flames me, I will say that not all singles make power, and that some duals make power. However, all of the exhausts that gain a lot of power are singles. Who cares about the noise? Single exhausts sound amazing.

hmm .... as the title states, what are some specific differences between the two? I'm about to buy a single exhaust just because i'm getting it for a decent price, and it also had pretty nice reviews ... I don't know if I'm making the correct decision or not

There are three relevant differences:
1. A single outlet exhaust can be made to be lighter than a dual outlet exhaust since there is less plumbing involved. However many dual designs are still much lighter (half the weight) than the heavy (~45 lb) OEM exhaust.
2. A single outlet exhaust leaves a missing element on the driver's side bumper cutout. At one point, a blanking panel was available to solve this aesthetic downside from ZTEC engineering.
3. A single outlet exhaust has one exhaust outlet, and a dual exhaust has two outlets .
