Opinions wanted

First off, Hello . First time poster, and new owner of a '08 Ford F-150 STX Flareside 4.6L V8.

I just recently ordered a new magnaflow exhaust. Should arrive tomorrow. The exhaust i purchased is this one...



The single side exit. Now I'm wondering if i made a mistake. Its the "right" exhaust but wondering if i should have gotten the dual rear exhaust?(below)



Thoughts?

I cant make up my own mind.

There is no real difference other then looks, right? I'm leaning towards exchanging it for the duals.

I will never own a single exit system. Dual outlet systems look so sweet, and sound a tad louder and better than single systems.

If i were you i would go dual, not only does it sound louder but it also keeps your engine cooler due to more air flowing out the back, not only will it be louder but more performance as well

actually you are a little incorrect. True duals will keep the exhaust cool, but you shouldn't run it that cool without a custom intake drawing down more air force. And si/so performs better than si/do because its all directing in one flow path, not splitting into two dual outlets. 3"in 2.5" dual out is the best si/do to run for performance like a single 3" si/so.

The single would be more of a stock look. But it's your truck, do what you like.
