Turn off Active exhaust CEL

[Unholy707]

Exhaust is being removed for the track midpipes back. I'm assuming this will set a check engine light. Can the active exhaust valve trouble codes be disabled? Yes, I'm tuned. Thanks!

ZAutomotive inactive exhaust plugs will do the trick....run them on mine for years now after I cut out the flapper valves completely

CELs turned off and made my own plugs out of the same connectors for $5 to keep water out of the connectors in the factory harness

When removing exhaust from mid pipes back for racing, make sure you put turn downs on the end of the mid pipes or the exhaust will blast away all your insulation in the tunnel as well as put a lot of heat into the driveshaft.

Also make sure the turn downs are on there securely somehow. I and many who tried clamping them on find that they can easily fall off going down the track.

Having a 2nd set of mid pipes with turn downs welded on would be my recommendation as an easy sure way of making sure you don’t experience all these things that I and many others embarrassingly had to find out for ourselves.

At one point I made custom vband connections where I could swap between no exhaust with turn downs versus factory full exhaust but that takes a little more work and planning to do.
