Default Cuts outs single vs. double?

What is the sound difference between having cutouts (one on each side) on the headers vs having just one at the y-pipe where it meets the cat back system? Obviously 1 is cheaper than buying two. Any one have experience with this also any picts of a set up with the SLP long tubes as my ground clearance is already an issue? Any advice would be appreciated.

Just do the single in the I pipe. When i got Pacesetter LTs it came with a Y pipe that had dual cut outs. sounds bad when opened and they scrape EVERYTHING in a lowered car. Im about to sell mine and get a regular Y pipe

My car is not lowered just that the SLP long tube headers hang real low. Are you cut outs electronic if so how much?

I used to think the same thing when I had dual cut outs. But After a lot of work I got the Y pipe tucked up to where it wasn't a huge issue (I'm also lowered 2"). But the sound wasn't the great. Then I got a cam and found a whole new appreciation for my cut outs. Not to mention a huge gain in power with them open.
