Default Dual or single cutout(s)

I wanna get a cutout, but cant decide if I just wanna run one behind the y pipe or dual cutouts on the ypipe. The dual cutouts would cost more and cost alot more to have a shop fab up, so thats why im not sure. Are there any advantages to running dual cutouts vs. single cutout?? Are the dual cutouts louder than the single cutout?? Dont really go to the track much, but I love the sound of open headers and would like to open it at the track and car shows. Lemme know what you guys run and how it sounds. How much does it usually cost to have a shop install one???

I have 3. The dual cutouts are waaay louder. I like how it sounds. The cutouts run around 30 bux each. An exhaust shop will usually charge around 10 to 15 dollars a weld. So around 60 dollars for a shop to weld up dual cutouts plus your 60 bux for 2 cutouts.

You have any clearance issues with the dual cutouts?? Did the shop move them around at all to make them tuck up better?? I just have jeard stories of people ypipes being ripped off because of the cutouts.

I was having some problems with clearance when I had my eibach sportline springs on. The main problems I had was with speed bumps in parking lots and then the occasional high center on driveways. When I had the eibach pro-kit springs I didn't have many clearance issues. I put my stock springs back on the car on Friday and now I don't have any clearance issues at all.
