Cutout Options

Okay so after ordering a qtp catted y and dual cutouts from fasttoys.net, I recieved a call from the man working there telling me that dual cutouts aren't a great fit on the catted y....So he gave me a couple of options...

1) Single 3" cutout at the end of the y pipe

2) Single 4" Cutout closer to the y collector and have it costume fitted and welded by a muffler shop

3) QTEC ORY (cant do because i live in California)

4) **** the cutout's in general (he said it in a much nicer way)

What do you think i should do??

Option 1 is your best bet. You don't want twins in the y-pipe.

even if the cutout is that far back, will it be louder than the catback?

I know the answer is yes, but a big difference?

It's definitely much louder for me since I have a hooker catback.
