Default Home Made Remote Exhaust Switch

Since installing my Long tubes my car has gotten quite loud. I saw the M2W switch for 90 dollars and was tempted to purchase until I came across a 12V 15Amp remote switch on Amazon. ($15 Shipped) I have installed and here are the results!

I made mine with a momentary switch I placed in the dead pedal (tap it on/off with my left foot) - an "add a fuse" tap and a SPDT relay. I have less < $8 into the set up.

The Switch comes with instructions. You have a 12V in, 12V out, two Grounds, and the antenna wire. I used a test probe on the fuse box to see which side was power all the time (right side) which is used for 12V in. The left side of the fuse was 12V out. Grounded both wires to what i believe is a bose amp next to fuse block.

I had originally purchased a forward clicky switch but it broke while wrangling it out of the package. =(
