Very loud and raspy. You might wanna put some mufflers on there trust me, loud is cool and all but after a few months it wont be anymore.

Dont remove them all together you will regret it I promise. cut outs are a "Y" shaped fitting that goes on your exhaust before the mufflers that you can open and close from inside the car. when open it bypasses your mufflers and lets the exhaust out with no muffling. close them and the exhaust goes through the mufflers like normal.

the 2 types are cable actuated...needs a cable ran into the car or underneath if you dont mind stopping and getting out to pull it...or electric via a button you mount inside the car. Google it...a bunch will come up. Just dont abandon your mufflers all together.

Don't get your tips 4 inches either, thats a little ricey. I think mine are 3.5" (maganpacks) and they are as big as anyone should have on a mustang. I'm not trying to diss v-6's either, but not 4 inches especially on a v6. I think 4 would be too much an a GT.
Also, think about switching to an H pipe also. X will be super raspy since its a sixxer. You can still get a loud sound with an H pipe and it will make it sound more like a "mustang", nice and deep. I know someone with an X on their v6 and its alright, but he put an H pipe on because he got one for like 90 bucks used and it sounded so much better. Just make sure you know what you want when it comes to exhaust because you have to hear it every day.

I had the stock midpipe cut out from the cats back and had a 3in diameter x pipe welded into place, mufflers were completly removed, and it goes to the stock tubing over the rear axle then comes out to a pair of chrome 3.5in angle tips. Looks fuggin great and sounds awesome.
They have DMH cutouts that do what yer talking about, bit pricey, but controlled from within the car.

As we speak i have no mufflers it sounds kind of gurgly and not soo good. I'm waiting for my borla side exhaust to get installed. As long as you have cats it wont be that bad.

On my old V6 I just chopped off the old mufflers and put on magnaflows and changed the tips and it sounded just fine stock.

Roush
Classic Design Concepts
Spintech
Steeda
And I know there are some I'm missing. The CDC one is cool because it comes with side skirts and dual exhaust hole covers for GT owners, Roush has custom sides too.
