Yeah cutouts right after the headers will corrupt the O2 sensor reading, you need at least 18inches of pipe after the O2 sensor to get a perfect reading, it also cancels out the scavenging effect which is important.

No, the reason it burns them up is because of outside air/oxygen getting to them in conjunction with exhaust gases. But I would not run dual cut-outs unless you want to lose some serious bottom end.
