Default exhaust cutout muffler option

ok so I'm prob going to get a cam soon, but I want to mask it as much as possible. So I was thinking about throwing a 3" straight through muffler in the middle of the I pipe and having an electric cut out put in after it to run at the track and maybe sometimes on the street when i want to be loud.

which muffler should i put in something cheap preferably and will all of this fit and have decent ground/body clearance? or would this be over kill i have a magnaflow cb currently on the car off road y lts. oh yeah car is lowered on eibach 1.5 drop i think with heater hose mod in the rear

The magnaflow cat back isn't restrictive, I'd skip the cut-out and just put in a Magnaflow #14419 (4" dia.14" case, $78), or even better a Dynomax #24248(4"dia. 18" case, $65). Both are stainless steel, and will fit in without any clearance issues in the I-pipe, and tone down the cam sound a little bit.
