Yes. In newer vehicles the exhaust is designed to match specific harmonic waves setup in the exhaust pipes along with specific flow rates of gases. Increasing or decreasing the length, radial size or the bend locations in the exhaust pipes can lead to hotter temperatures, lower efficiency and more wear on the engine (especially at the valves.)
Older vehicles (75 and older) tend to have less problem with exhaust changes as the system was designed to higher tolerances and less precise performance.

In some case it is just for looks as they are not true dual exhaust systems. In other cases they are for improved performance and are true dual exhaust systems. On most V6 or V8 cars they do improve performance. On a 4 cylinder they do very little to improve performance.

Not necessarily, adding duel exhaust will not increase the performance of a mower. It would require the exhaust port to be bigger and require a bigger pipe to be used.
