Haven't read of anyone using explicit cut outs on their car, but it's a possible option.

I've seen some installations of the newer style electric and vacuum cut outs so I thing it could be done . The challenge would be where to locate it but I assume that could be solved too. I'm sure a good muffler shop can make the mod. Maybe the OP can give it a go and then we can hear the system at full open.

Also consider replacing the centre section & mufflers with a crossover pipe like the Performance Active Exhaust option. Either the genuine article, or get a local shop to fabricate one, as other forum members have done.
The effect of the rear box + x-over will make the car sound similar to an XKR-S in Dynamic Mode, when the active valves stay open all the time

Try the xkr back box first before getting the x-pipe the reason I say this is I did it the other way around ie x-pipe first (which I didn't like at all found the tone very raspy) so I put the mid pipe back on then went xkr back box . As the valves in exhaust pipes remain open permanently I found that this was the exact sound I was after - perfect

Another nice way to add more growl is a high-flow catalyst. Dropping in a 300-cell or 200-cell will make an aggressive change. Certainly mid-pipe resonator and muffler change helps, only downside would be finding the right combination so that you do not have too much resonance.
I just finished up a fixture to produce race converter setups for XK's and XKR's 07-09, I will install on car with Borla mufflers this week or next. There is a video posted of a XKR 200 cell, 3" x-pipe and straight through resonator in the thread page.

XKR rear box , 100 cell cats, x2 factory resonators and valve in open position
I find the exhaust too loud for me with the valves open and the 100 cell cats it grabs a lot of attention so i normally close the valves but for this video the I've left them open

I did it on my XJR, best mod I have ever done to any car, period, and you can open them as much as you like, luxury car quiet to race car and anything in between.
I have more than one thread on it, but here are a couple:

Can't go wrong either way
Adamesh is very good I've used them before for my springs so I can recommend their stuff
When it comes to their mid pipe with the x-pipe the welding and overall finish looks to be of high quality if I didn't already have an x-pipe fitted I'd love to have the Adamesh item
