cut out switch

hey guys, i was wondering for those who have cutouts what kind of switch is used? could a simple on off switch work? off being closed and on being open? would the switch given by the company fit in your ashtray?

if anyone has pics they would be appreciated, thanks

The switch that comes with the cutouts works great. I've got mine on a screw under the dash above the gas pedal. Works great and is not noticeable.

i was hoping to use an excisting switch or something of the similar so that my switch panel looks somewhat organized, id also like to keep the switch in my ashtray for quick access, i plan to drive with the cutouts open alot and close for cops

The switch on my gas pedal does something else.

I don't think you could fit it in the ashtray but you could drill a hole in the side of the console where it goes from the tunnel to the dash and put it there, there's room behind there IIRC. Or just use a switch plate on the screw under the dash like I did, it's not noticable but easy to get to.

Spin, no window switch on my gas pedal yet!!

Oh and if I didn't need to have my trailer hitch, I'd consider putting on the Z06 mufflers instead of cutouts now that Pipedreams makes the all in one Mild to Wild setup with vacuum pump. It's a simpler setup, albeit more expensive than cutouts unless you get the Z06 mufflers for free.
