Exclamation question on exhaust cutouts!!

So, Ive been lookin for the most available power on the new beast. From what I have read when you do dual exhaust you have to have a x pipe, or conect the exhaust pipes in the middle somewhere. Now, if I have pacesetter longtubes goin into pacesetters 3 inch y pipe, then into a flowmaster catback, can I install dual cutouts in the y pipe? Or would it be best just to have one cutout right after the two exhuast pipes come together and hook up to the flowmaster? I was lookin at just doin one 3 inch cutout where it connects to the flowmaster, but should I do two of them, one on each bank of the y pipe before it merges? Its a daily driver, so Im guessing not much power can be gained from duals on the street.
Thanks!

You can do 2 cutouts right after the headers or you can do one right behind the passenger seat. IMO do the one... there will be no gain over doing 2 right after the headers then doing the one futher downstream.

Most I've seen are installed in the pipe somewhere before it goes over the axle. True duals are cool, too, but I'm concerned about ground clearance...
