Could a single/single sound the same as a single/dual?

That's a good question. Assuming a single inlet configuration, there probably will be a distinction between single and twin outlets regarding overall noise volume, not so much in character. In single inlet configurations, in both O.E. style mufflers and Flowmasters, all of the exhaust volume will be run through a single container, and flow out through either one or two outlets. Since the primary exhaust piping is combined before the inlet to the muffler in a single inlet system, you won't get that stereo effect you may be thinking about when you're talking about single or twin outlets. The will simply be a difference in overall noise volume, more than anything.
Now, in systems where the headers dump into a muffler individually, (74 type, SSI's etc..)typically the internal piping or chambers in the muffler remain, in effect, segregated from each other, so that each bank's cylinders fire their exhaust notes through separate systems housed in a common can (the muffler) to their respective tips. Hope this helps a little.
