Cut out is really the only way to have best of both worlds. But i wouldn't run it all the way back adding un-needed weight. Place the cut out right on or after the downpipe. No cost at all really. Just a spare 3" pipe with a flange. Another flange to block it off and 2 or 3 bolts. Done... would cost only about 10-15 bucks extra and will weight maybe 1lb. Only down fall is unbolting it, which takes all of 10 seconds...

I appreciate their honesty about it. So I suppose this leaves just rotary specific mufflers to consider....
I will say that's good of them to not give you bad info trying to sell the product.

would be more expensive, but could always get an electronic cut out. This would allow an easy change over on the go. I think QTP made nice cut outs.
