If the muffler for the single catback is the same as the one on the dual
catbak, probably yes on the cut. The reason for the cutting is that the
Gibson muffler is angled differently from the stock muffler when put in
the stock muffler location. The cutting was to compensate for the difference
in angle by putting a connector pipe at the cut. Not sure if this is the
reason for the constant adjustment so your pipes exit straight.
When I had the dual rear exit installed, the last thing done after the
pipes were aligned was to weld the connector pipe so the pipe alignments
would remained true.
