Need key-on powered wire

Installing electric exhaust cutout switch by my right knee.
suggestions on best place to ground and where to access power?
thanks in advance before I start pulling panels.

Still have to figure out the best best way to get the wiring into the cab too.

Knowing what you're driving would be helpful.

I just ran some power and ground wires into the cab yesterday. On the passengers side inside engine bay there's a rubber boot against the firewall that a bunch of wires go through. I cut a slit in that boot then ran the wires through it into the cab. Over on the passengers kick panel where the wires will end up is a ground lug just above the fuse panel. I used the power lug inside the engine bay that's under the fuse panel cover. Hope I explained this well.

If you're looking at the engine bay with the fuse panel off it's the lug on the passengers side with a 10mm nut on it .there should already be 1 or 2 wires connected to it already.
