1 in the i-pipe is plenty. I added a header collecter in the back right before it turns into the muffler first. Then later I added a flowtech non-electric in the I-pipe. I have LT's now so I really don't run them open around town its just too loud. I think you will be happy with just 1 in the i-pipe.
I agree, all you need is a cutout in the I pipe. It's plenty loud with longtube headers and an ORY pipe or even a catted Y. Draws a lot of attention, especially when your car has a nice lope to it.
I'm planning an exhaust for my car and wanted to have LT's, a catted Y, cutouts, and leave the stock catback on there. I considered two cut outs but there's really no where they'll fit on the catted Y pipe. I'll probably install just one cut out in the I-pipe. I'm sure it'll free up the exhaust and still sound nasty. (Not to mention that it'll reduce cost a little.) I'm happy to see that many of you have a single cut out and are happy with it.

. And I'll use a dump fitting on it. Trending Topics
On my z28, I have dual cutouts, one on each side right after the header and it sounds really good. Really loud too. My friend also has TA that has a cutout in the I-pipe and he likes it, but wishes it could be louder. However, my cutouts are before the cats and his cutout is(obviously) after the cats. But if loud is what you want, dual cutouts sounds pretty good.

I had two QTEC cutouts one on each side AFTER two bullets. so it was LT header, bullet, cutout, y pipe.
It sounded BADASS! ground clearance wasn't that good but i LOVED it. itr wasn't open header nasty loud it was open header deep muscle car loud.
Now that i'm more hardcore i just have a bullet on each header wich sounds even better but it doesn't have a volume switch like before.
