Default 2 cutouts or 1 cutout

2 - 3" cutouts....1 in each side of the Y pipe or 1- 3" cutout in the I pipe? i dont have cats. which would be better? would there be that much of a difference?

Other than probably about 5rwhp(if you are lucky), it will just sound really, really, mean I might get two cut outs right after each header just to make my car even more insane sounding.......even though its a ******* monster right now.

2 in the Y kill your ground clearance. 1 in the I is plenty for power and sound.

I agree with Southflorida02ss 1 will be fine. I have one in the i-pipe and a one just after the rear axle.

honestly with your setup i would run 2. the more you make the more youll benefit from two over one, and with how much hp cost when you get up high, why not spend an extra 30-40 bucks even if its only for 5 hp

With my old setup putting down 480rwhp (open dual cutouts) vs. 472rwhp (closed cutouts) thru the SLP 2OTL, I'd trade-off a few ponies for better ground clearance. Though, Tally, your setup tucks up real nice (Tally's custom dual cutout setup is tight).

Ypu really just need one. Dual cutouts only gain about 5 hp more.
