Dual Cutouts? Where do you place them? Pictures Wanted!!!

Hey guys, this summer I'm going to be revamping my exhaust. The company that had done work on my car previously made some TERRRRRIBLE welds on my Y pipe/original cutout and so I've been getting asphyxiated. I've been thinking of making up a new Y pipe with dual cutouts integrated into it. Just wondering if anybody had done this before, or knows where I can find some info on this? BTW i'm looking to use the DMH electric ones, I'm just worried about clearance issues and if there would be any problems with back pressure. I'd be content with a single cutout, but I've always wanted duals:

Theres a certain places from the header collector you want to place your cutout or it will cause a decrease in power I can't remember right off the top of my head but I'm sure its been dicussed here

I Agree, but also don't place them too close to the collectors or you'll have a chance of burning your valves
