Default single or dual cutouts???

Would I be better off w/ one cutout in the I-pipe or stick with what I was planning on doing. One at the end of each header. Would I loose to much backpressure to see any gains in the 1/4? Jet Hot lt's. Rest is in sig. Thanks.

I'm glad you posted this question!! I was planning on duel cut outs and didn't think of backpressure loss. Lots of guys at the strip run open headers though, so it makes me wonder........good question!

i have lt's and ory and a single cutout in the I-pipe.

i think a single should be good enough, unless you are planning on running a true dual setup, the need for a dual cutout setup makes no sense. this is only my opinion.

not to mention that if you are going to get electric ones, they are 175 bucks a crack

I have no clue how to help you out, but it's a good question! I think it would depend on cam/other internal mods on the backpressure thing. Might get an answer in that forum? Don't know.

Single cutout works well on my car.

The QTP dual setup is pretty trick.
