These devices are called cut-outs and they have been around a long time. This is the old style; you have to pull a lever. But it is newer than the ones you have to unbolt. Newer ones run electronically and some even use vacuum. And they are on many new cars! Do a search and you will find many styles and sizes.

I don't know what ever came of it, but Webb Motorsports was incorporating something like this into their exhaust system.

It's not exactly a cut-out per se. This goes inline with your current exhaust. And you use it to silence it up or run it like it came when you bought it. It's not meant to use as a dump.

Although this one isn't electrical i'd becareful. A friend was running an electric cut-out in his SRT-4 but with his new turbo upgrade the wastegate was dumping right next to the cut-out and the heat melted all the wires. I don't think you'll have this issue cause there prolly isn't as much heat. But just something to think about...
