A "V" motor has two manifolds yes? A driver and passenger. Seems to me you'd want two exit points for said exhaust manifolds.

The factory exhaust on my Challenger was dual, but had a weird cross over config. Also the HUGE mufflers killed that muscle car sound so I swapped it out for a more fitting Magnaflow.

"Most" stock exhausts are more concerned with noise abatement than they are sound quality. Therefore they run the stock exhaust through all kinds of mufflers, cross overs, boxes, etc. If Nissan had a true open setup and could do whatever they wanted, it'd be dual exhaust on this car.

I ordered a FI CBE which is also a true dual setup for my Z and the sound fits accordingly. I'll do some video of it once installed.

For now here's the Challenger.

No way I'd make it single. A bit too boy ricer and 4 cylinder motor for me, but that's just my personal opinion. Like I said, to each their own.

I enjoy seeing folks do any kind of mod and the OP did some work to make this fit. Props to him.
