Correct me if i am wrong but, arent there suppose to be two pipes all the way from headers to the end for it to be real dual exhaust?
Some companies have proven that a single, larger diameter piping that splits into two smaller diameter piping can provide better benefit. This design can change anything, performance, sound, weight, etc. It all depends on what the company's goals are for the exhaust.

For example, Amuse has two versions of their exhaust, the RS-Silent and the R1 Extra. The RS-Silent is two separate pipes and has a lower, more beefy tone. The R1 Extra is lighter, louder, and has a little bit more performance.

Here are some pictures and links for additional reference:

My pleasure. Another cool thing about Amuse is that you can actually customize the burn. You can choose full burn tips, partial burn tips, or no burn on the tips; full burn on the canisters, partial burn on the canisters, or no burn. There are no additional charges for the burns either.
