So it looks like the disc has depth to it. So you remove the bolts, slide the whole assembly out, remove the disc, and reinstall the assembly sans disc. The dump valves would replace the whole assembly I guess. I'll remove mine but if it's too loud I'll open up the hole in the disc and reinstall. I guess you can tune the sound to your liking. Sweet. 
We'll have to track different sizes in the hole. Anyone got a decibel meter? Oh I do. 
What we really need to know is if and how much of a HP gain there might be from removing the disc.

You can't slide the disc out due to the fact that you remove the nuts and the studs stay on the h pipe side...if it was bolts you would not have to remove the 15mm bolt from the rocker side of the exhaust, and remove it to accomplish this...also the spacer would fall out and reinstalling the spacer and 2 gaskets i guess would have been harder to do according to Ford??

Sorry guys, was out of town on business. Drove the Boss from DC to West Virginia and had a blast. No hwy drone without the disks, just a nice loud rumble while cruising and distinct hammering on acceleration. There is also a cool thwap sound during engine breaking which sounds to me a bit like a lopey idle. With the trackey, the sound will be amazing. Removing the discs does makes a big difference both inside and outside the car in terms of volume.
One cool thing is hearing the side pipes while driving alongside a jersey barrier or through an underpass; the sound that echoes is excellent. I will try to get a sound file up shortly, but can't figure out a way to do it via iPhone.

A little heads up for you. We just got back from Detroit. We did a test fit on the Boss 302 exhaust at Ford. We are building electric cutouts for Ford Racing. It is a brand new style since the exhaust uses a 2 bolt design. Came out very nice and fits very well. It also sound very nice open. Nice a deep rumble.
They should be available from Ford Racing in 30-45 days.
I will try to get a picture of it in the next day or so.

So, now we're looking at three must haves!
Springs, Gauges and Cutouts. So much for trying to keep this one stock!

Thanks Guys, When we talked about 2months ago you were looking for a set up. Will you be doing the units with the hole in the disk and will you be able to modulate the opening like the upgraded units you make now.

The product will be sold through ford so i can not state any pricing.
It will be similar to our standard electric cutouts. This one will be specific to the bolt pattern of the Boss exhaust.
It will come with our new remotes to control it.
Here is a teaser pic.

Looking good...I see BOSS302 engraving as well!
I'm assuming the cutout eliminates each sidepipe, and the exhaust exits where the cutout is located?
