I Suppose it's how ya see it .. To me fake would be that the right side tips are not connected to the muffler and are just dummy without any flow going through them.. But at the same time it's not a true dual exhaust as there is no second muffler as it just utilizes the one Remus muffler..
I did mine the exact same as your 4 years ago. People called it fake because it not the OEM setup. I didn't mind being called it fake because I only paid $450 for everything and other spent over $3000 for an OEM setup.

Yes, the 5.5l V8 is sweet - it sounds so great with the top down! 
On the dual exhaust issue, I recall reading a post here or on BW where a guy did it. He removed the center resonator and brought two pipes back into a single dual-chamber muffler. Now, if we could just do that, then use your pipe for the passenger side...BINGO! real dual exhaust on a cabriolet!

You can still do what Rudeney said. It like the old Ford Mustang exhaust system. Btw, I also spray paint the OEM mulffer bottom flat black so it does not look funny from behind. If your car is not lower, you can really see the muffler only on one side.

Yes this way has to be the easiest + cheapest compared to having to remove the spare wheel and all that.. As long as you paint the piping black which I did, then you really can't tell.. Plus helps when your car is lowered as well 
unless you get up close and underneath then it's hard to tell and because all four tips have smoke and noise coming out of them then you can't really tell..

I've tried my best to keep the car borderline between oem and aftermarket and kinda blend the two together.. Basically just trying to make a nice car more better ..
