CUTOUTS....not pipes i'll leave it stand like that, wait for the numbers to come back proving what i have already seen before, running dual cutouts is going to make him go slower. we already went waaaay off topic from the OP.
to the OP: get a baseline dyno, then get it with both cutout's open. report back. thanks.

I know he will make less torque with the cutouts open. I am not debating that. However, it's not the backpressure that makes running with the cutouts closed create more torque, it's the exhaust velocity. 
You'll see a bit better high end performance but yeah, your low end is going to suck ***. I have long tubes and just welded a single electric cutout on right past the Y. I still have low end power and it's still loud as **** when I open them up. It's great to see peoples faces @ a meet or show when you rev, then open the cutout and hit it again. I also recommend behind the Y because there's a relief in the floor pan there under the back passenger seat. I haven't lost a bit of ground clearance at all.

Do you have cats? I'm running a catted y pipe with a borla and I don't know how much of a difference a cutout there would actually do.
