I would just get an electric one. A cable one is kinda cheap in my opinion. In having someone custom make one for you vs getting a used electric, the cost probably wont be much different, or minimal. Also, you can still gain with a cutout over a catback system. I gained 6 hp at the wheels with the cutout over just my Mac catback and this was with a bad fuel pump at 20 psi (see AF in sig).

Don't get one. The muffler shop I use has taken more of the cable ones off than he has put on. He says they rattle and will never seal. Just get one that you have to uncap, that way later you can upgrade to an electric one.
