IMO, for reasons I mentioned earlier.

. It's a styling touch that buyers like, including me.
. Dual outlet exhausts are not that expensive from a manufacturers standpoint
. A very small increase in horsepower can result (vs. single, and it's been measured and published by some manufacturers already)
. Maybe a very small increase in fuel efficiency can result, but not enough to move the needle (since EPA gas mileage ratings are to the nearest 1 mpg increment, no fractions).

I say just do it like the latest BMW, Mercedes, Ford, Acura, SUVs.
