Default Wiring for electric exhaust cutout?

Adding a electric exhaust cutout. Where is a good place to connect power for the on/off toggle switch? Is there a fuse # that is "key on." Inside the kick panel? Should I use an add a fuse tap?

I read someone using fuse #37 for a light bar. Looks like it is rated at 20A, is that adequate?

Thanks in advance y'all!

The rated amps should be listed in the instructions. Is the power routed thru a relay?

This is all the instructions say for wiring: Connect the black wire from the main harness pictured above to a chassis ground or
direct to the negative post on the battery. Connect the red wire with the 5 Amp fused
wire to a 12 volt key on ignition source such as the accessory side of the fuse block.

The wiring itself has a 7.5 amp fuse. Will take a picture shortly

Red power wire has inline 7.5 amp fuse. Instructions say the small black box is the \"brain"
