If you go with electric cutouts, make sure you go with a company that offers a good long warranty. Most people I know with electric cutouts end up saying they weren't very reliable and have had to replace them. Definitely don't go with the cheapest you can find!
I'm not really considering it because I have an exhaust setup already in mind but came across a video of an F10 535i with exhaust cutouts and the car sounded awesome when the valves were open.

I did muffler and resonator deletes on my E39 540 and it actually sounded better with a Dinan axle back muffler so I will be going that route but I don't know much about the cutouts so that's why I asked.
