Default Single Cutout vs Dual Cutouts?

I'm curious if dual cutouts will be worth the money. Obviously I want it as loud as possible. Below are two pics of where I would basically be putting the cutouts (not exact, just approximate). I have Shortys, an ORY & a LM. After I put on the cutout(s) I'm swapping out the muffler for a quiet one for when I need to drive quiet.

Just let me know if I should stick with one or go for the two.





Thanks.

It's all about the volume baby! I'm saving up for a new car so i'm not looking to put too much money into her... certainly not for speed.

No matter what you do, I am curious to see if you have any clearnace issue with them. Your really gonna have to tuck those baby's under there for them not to scrape on bumps and such.

you will have clearance issues with the duals, they will hang somewhat low but i think will sound better

If you were closer to me I would trade you my ORY with dual cutouts for your ORY. The previous owner put them in and I have only opened them maybe twice since I have had the car.lol

here is te best idea so far use the money that you would spend on the extra cutout and get a 4" flowmaster merge collector since that one pictured is junk. That way you will have a 4" cutout which will be plenty and you will have a better merge which will give you more power when it is closed then with either of the previous choices. Then have a reducer back to your 3" catback.

Ditch your shorty's go longtubes, get a custom y done(flowmaster merge), put the cutout at the end of the y-pipe.

Either adding 1 or 2 cutouts is my only option. I'm not putting any more money in this car. So no longtubes or anything else that reconfigures my exhaust setup.
