I prefer passenger side otherwise everything seems to be on the driver side with the steering wheel and all.

I have a custom 3" exhaust that came on the car from Japan, it exits on the drivers side (LHS in australia.)

Although I've heard you will get slightly less restriction by having it exit on the RHS, as there will be less bends.

Personally I prefer the look of it on the Left.

i like to keep the fc's how they are meant to be. plus it doesn't look good when theres a single exit exhaust with the empty space in the bumper where another muffler is meant to be imo.

I've had both driver and passenger side single exit exhausts. I like it on the drivers side better though.

That is low, you obviously dont have speed humps where you live.
What spec do you have to warrant that size exhaust?

The passenger side of the car makes more sense to have a single exhaust on. Better weight distribution=better handling .

Exactly. I used to have an Apexi N1, passenger side which I like more than driver side. But I didn't like the look of the empty bumper cutout.

So do people just make single exhaust for looks?

I personally prefer the Dual...And since someone said that there were no benefits in going to a single exhaust I can't see the point.
