Default question about elect/cutout installation?

I just received my elect/cutout and now I have installation questions! I know that I just have to take it to any muffler shop first so that they can weld it on to the exhaust pipe and then I gotta take it to an electrician. There's my question, you guys think that just about any elctrical shop will know how to install the wiring properly? Is it not that big of a deal for any knowledgable electrician to install?

you can do the electrical yourself, it isnt hard at all. just run your wires through the hole underneath the back passenger seat. mount the switch where you want it and then run the red wire to a power source and the other to a ground.

Where in the car could i connect the power source(red wire) to? I know the ground can be from any screw on the chassis.

run the wire to the fuse box and hook it into a fuse that gets power when the ignition is on. i hooked mine into the radio fuse and it works great.
