Dual or single muffler

I am looking at replacing the exhaust on my 5.0 explorer.
But I was wondering if there is any benifit to going with two mufflers or if I will get the same sound and performance with using a single muffler with a dual in dual out config.

From what i here it will be louder with 2 mufflers. This will cost more but if you are lookin for loud it will be the way to go.

off two mufflers if you run true duel exhaust you will get more power from it but if you just put on two mufflers instead of one it will be the same and just as quiet unless you put something like flowmasters on it then it will definitly be louder with two

Thanks for the replies, I ended up going with a stainless magnaflow dual in dual out, with four inch stainless tips exiting behind the rear tires. It looks and sounds bad ***.

It gave me a nice deep throaty sound, but not too loud, just loud enough to set it apart from other explorers and to turn a few heads. All in All I am extremely happy with it.
