Default Anybody running dual cut outs?

Anyone using 3" dual cutouts that aren't the DMH Low profiles?

Plan on buying a pair, price isn't really an option, just wondering if anyone is running a pair w/o any scraping issues?

Pictures would be great.

Thinking about getting them welded in right after the collectors, but maintaining my distance between the o2 so there will be no fouling.

I know I will be good with just one in the I-pipe, but I want two


Heres what I am debating about getting. I know DMH is far superior and the warranty just cant be beat

I have dual cutouts, but they're DMH. No scraping issues here.

Had 2 regular electric cut outs on my lowered car. Scraped one electric motor clean off on the highway. Went to DMH low pros and never had another problem.

I am debating doing that setup in the pic Vs. a single cutout right before the rear axle... Which has a better sound? Describe what "better" means to you?

TIA!

Question

How is the sound compared to a single cutout before the rear axle? Have you heard that setup in person? If so, why do you prefer the dual sound?

Well tax $ will be hear next week. Decided to go with the low profiles. Dont plan on spending extra money to have shop wire it up. How exactly do you wire up the cutouts? Plan on going through passanger side gromet & using a custom switch from sponsors , leaving it in the ash tray.
