For me it comes down to form over function. If a car has a reason to have split, two path exhaust, like say a v-engine, it makes sense. But when cars that have a single center pipe, like 4 cylinders or I6's, it's just added weight and complexity for style's sake.

I had an M Coupe, with all four stupid exhaust tips. I debated a single sided exhaust, but ultimately didn't care enough to address it. Over stylized exhaust is just a personal pet peeve, if others like it, that's great. It just reminds me of mid-80's GM with six or eight fake exhaust tips on many cars. Of course the recent BMW trend of putting a transverse can with multiple tips on both sides is similarly annoying.
