Ended up tapping into the cig lighter fuse (second row on the pic, yellow 20amp fuse). Works fine as of now.

I have the ECS Exhaust, i didn't turn on my car for 5 days, when I came back home and turned on the car, the battery was completely dead...I guess this is why ....

Yep. I think it completely killed my OEM battery (it was already old at that time but still worked fine).

Tbh I wouldn't recommend anybody to buy ECS exhaust. For $2k get AWE and embed valves into it. Will be cheaper and far superior quality. The best thing from the entire ECS exhaust is valves (which don't outweigh all disadvantages).

ECS is saying as long as you turn off the car with the valves CLOSED , your fine, battery wont drain

If they were selling this exhaust for $500 I might live with that and find my way to resolve this issue. But for 2k and living in the 21st century, it's ridiculous to follow such conditions.
