Dual Cutouts-before or after X? I believe I will gain more power if I put them after the X pipe opposed to putting them right off the headers, but then I will have to relocate my mufflers since my mufflers are under the rear seats right now. I don't what this just for sound, mainly for more power. I think after the X. What do you guys think?

AH,c'mon...they are fun... 
i have my dual cutouts right after my longtubes, and i made 15rwhp with them open versus goin through my SLP loudmouth catback. looks good to me, and that was when i just had a hotcam.

Guys,
I have Kooks LTs/No cats/Edlebrock mufflers dumped right now. Need to eventually go over the axle and figure the best place to uncap would be where my mufflers reside today. Thinking about running chambered mufflers after the axle too.

i love the sound. its like having open headers. i am actually thinking of selling my mccord powerplates. i just got one back from them b/c it got broke and they fixed it. now the other one just quit working. as far as the heat goes, it should be alright, there should be enough air blowing on them to keep them from burning up b/c they do hang fairly low. i probably have about 4 or 5 inches of ground clearance under them and if you arent careful, they will drag, but not necessarily the powerplates. just the actual cutout will drag. the powerplates sit slightly about the bottom of the cutout.
