Generally, electric cutouts are quite expensive in my view, but do work for what you want, more noise at the touch of a button. I'd vote for manual cutouts, cheaper, simpler to install.
Downside to cutouts is that they are prone to leaking, they don't seal perfect forever. Most people in search of the loud exhaust don't even notice the exhaust leak once it starts, but to me it would drive me crazy.

As far as install... Welding in exhaust pipes is a PITA, its almost not worth it to do yourself even if you have the ability and equipment, which most people dont.

The thing is, when you do flip the switch, its gonna sound like complete ass. Have you ever heard one of these cars with open exhaust? I have, and its not pretty.

I have a cut out. I had it put on just after the resonator where the lsj exhaust bends around. I ran for about a day or two with it open, then haven't opened it up since. Its fun for a bit. But highway driving sucks!!!
