Why no full single exhaust for the n55?

It seems that the n55 downpipe was built so that the dual exhaust from the n54 can be interchangeable. Why has nobody built a downpipe with a single outlet for single exhaust? The weight savings would be a lot, and it would be simple to fabricate, and would probably have better flow. I'm, posting this with hopes that a manufacturer sees this and builds a single exhaust.

Harder to charge $1400 for a catback when you do that...

They would have to make both the downpipe and exhaust. You're choices would be hindered...
