well first you are right this is not a true dual exhaust a true dual exhaust would have seperate pipes mufflers cats etc coming from the manifolds on a v-type engine and as far as to atempting to quiet your exhaust your goin to need to replace the muffler the split tailpipe wont make a huge diffrence also when your looking at your exhaust make sure the cat is still in place and is an actual cat alot of kids will replace the cat with a glasspack or remove it all together and that can cause alot of excess noise.
