Default Exhaust cutout and ECM learning curve?

I know there was already a thread about exhaust cutouts but it didn't cover something that I just thought about. I have desided that there is no one exhaust that is going to make me happy so I have been looking into exhaust cutouts and it has brought up a new question. With all the "learning" that this truck is always doing; changing a/f ratio, valve timing, shift points, ect, what kind of effect would changing exhaust back-pressure back and forth from stock to strait pipe have on the motor? I want to put an electric cutout in front of the stock muffler and run 3" strait pipe off of it with it exiting behind the drivers side rear tire, so it looks like a dual system from the rear. So if I go with this plan, will there be any ill effects from switching back and forth on a regular basis? Will the truck constantly be trying to change its' settings for the back-pressure of each system and run porely? Thanks for any insite!
