The cutouts would just be added to your current exhaust system to add the ability to uncap the exhaust at the cutout. You can cap it back up and the exhaust flows through the rest of the piping, to the mufflers and out the tips. It gives you an option.
If you just cut off your exhaust at the rear subframe, then obviously cutouts would not be needed.

Keep your eye on the parts section. Full setups pop up all the time, and with guys not spending much money this year, they have sat in the parts section for quite a while. I assume you plan on getting a tune after the install?

I went with Kooks 1 3/4 LT's / Catless X, and a B&B Fusion Cat-back...with the Fusion valves open the exhaust is modeled after Bullets, and in my opinion still isn't tooooo loud. No doubt it's noisy but not obnoxious loud, and the only time the exhaust crackles/pops is during engine braking above 2K RPM and it very slight and sounds GREAT.
Also, even without the cats, I got almost no fuel smell, and zero fuel smell inside the car.
Best of all, with the Kooks 1 3/4, Catless X, B&B Fusion, VR-B2, and Ported TB, I had my 03Z Jeremy Formatto tuned to 393RWHP/371TQ on a hot day, with what I was told was a bit of a stingy dyno.
