Suitcase muffler too?
I wouldn't worry too much, a 3 liter motor only flows so much air, and it would be rare for you to be running much over 3000 rpm, usually considerably less. One muffler is plenty for that little low rpm motor.
I am sure that with a boost of 23 psi or + 1.5ATM's, the engineers took that into account, along with all the other restrictions in line, like DPF's, lamba sensors for and aft for clogging and regeneration, resistance to backpressure exhaust side, pre turbo, cat convertor, etc, etc, etc. Muffler is the last in a long line of resistance to exhaust flow, it's a non issue in this design, too much upstream. Dual tips and dual mufflers would be more an appearance package and a metric ton of weight and redundancy.
