When I had the y-pipe setup, I had one in the I-pipe. It was alright but it was VERY choppy sounding. Do dual cutouts make it more refined? Like right off of the headers?

Those look like they would scrape right there.

I have had 1 in the I-pipe before. 2 off the headers. 2 off the mufflers. ect. I have had a cut-out everywhere.

I've just used a single one a couple of times. I haven't built anything yet (or finished anything yet I should say) that really needed 2 cutouts.

Very rarely open.

Picks up power though, so I run it open when I race.
