As a side note, you don't need cutouts to sound tame in the neighborhood and beast on the freeway. A good exhaust can give you a tame demeanor untill you open it up and it becomes a muscle car.

As an owner of 2 4.6 engines running two totally different rigs, I can assure you that stock e53 exhaust note leaves me wanting more from start up to redline however with catback free flow, can sound like the apocalypse about to begin at 4k rpm. Just say'n. There are alternatives out there. The removal of just the scuba tank resonators can be a quite nice step up in note.
Thanks. I PM'd BCredliner. I always thought catback systems were kinda expensive, but even with electronic cutouts the price does creep up depending. The least expensive and fastest way so far seems to install the y-pipes myself with clamps (saving labor) and attach the cutouts. However, I don't think there is enough room in the rear closer to the mufflers. Haven't measured but looks tight. I think BCRedliner installed his cutouts up front. Waiting to hear how he did that. Will update this thread as I progress...
