Default Single vs Dual Exhaust

Hello all, I've been doing some research and am trying to figure out the pros and cons of a single exhaust vs a dual. I've got an 02 TT quatro 180 hp and will be upgrading the exhaust before too long once the money is available. I'm still learning about working on my car and wondered if it was worth spending the extra money on making my now single exhaust into a dual or if just upgrading everything and leaving it a single is going to be pretty much just as good. any input would be helpful.

performance wise single will pretty much remain the same, with a dual you get the appearance look but a little added weight

The weight is probably nothing. My dual Borla is lighter than the stock 180 single tip I'm pretty sure because it was ALOT lighter than my stock catback. I have a 225q.
The dual muffler weight difference can't be that much at allmaybe apound or two added to just the muffler. The straight pipesshould besame.

Yeah...I think it is all personal preference really when it comes down to it. I know you said that in there...somewhere...you probably edited it out. [8D]
