Default Electric cutout?

I already have a cutout in my stock I pipe, do I need to buy a whole new cutout with everything or can I just buy the electric opener/switch from somewhere and mount it to the current one? Where can I get all this? Thanks.

Will do. I need some ideas on where to have the switch mounted. I would have put it in the TCS plate next to the TCS switch, but I have a custom plate there.

QTP is a decent company, but DMH is the king of e-cutouts... I have dual low-profiles myself... never had so much fun with a car as I do with those toys

But ya honestly, get the DMH great Customer Service and quality is second to none.
