Default exhaust cutout install

about to wire up my cutouts on my 05, if you have cutouts installed how did you run your wire and where did you tap for power. looking for ideas as to where the the best mounting of switch and power options are. Thanks

I have yet to find a 4" that will hold up and not flutter at idle and sound like ****. Good luck. Err, iirc you have dual 3" so may have better luck

Thru the floor with a rubber grommet. Going toward the fuse box side in cab. Easy as that an ran the wire along to the frame where all the other wires run. Had to put some on after I got the headers on. Might not be fast but she's loud AF!

Do not drill through floor.
Use the same rubber boot everyone runs amp power wire through.

In my 2005, the in-cab fuse box, middle column, bottom left unused pin. I'd post a photo, but haven't seen the sticky on how to post photos after the photobucket disaster.

Amazon, orileys, autozone a micro fuse tap and use the radio fuse location.
Follow your O2 wire up into engine bay, up and over engine to the big *** rubber geommet.
And please dont deill any holes in your dash, center console or whatever.
Mount the switch down low, under the dash, where its not seen.
If you cant figure out how to mount it down there, just zip tie it to your hood popper cable, as you will probably be removing it in a cpl months.


Do it right and dont burn your vehicle down.

If you are really having a problem installing a Ecut out switch, maybe you shouldnt tey it at all. Go to a car audio shop, those guys will be done in 5 mins.

So there junk? I was hoping they had gotten better, figures. The idea is cool just seems the execution is off. Are there any cutouts that actually work other than the old bolt on style.
