Bad ass, I'm trying to do this on my 2014 good thing I checked first because I was thinking the same thing you were at first didn't knew there's a computer inside that

Stupid right. Can't just make it a simple design, can they. Hope this helps you along.

Thanks for your video. This part is a common failure from what im finding. I wonder if it's the not soldered through hole pins. That's pretty junky. Time to open mine up and drop some solder and maybe it fixes them...
@bluedakota80 Жыл бұрын
It was shocking to see there was no solder on any of those pins. Hope this is what wrong with yours and it fixes it.

Does it stay in the open position every time you restart the car? Or do you have to open every time?

Awesome video!! I been holding off upgrading my exhaust because of this problem you just solved for me! I wanted to get your opinion? I have a 2019 Mustang GT PP1 without active exhaust and I was going to buy an Outlaw Flowmaster with the active exhaust so I can switch it off and on like you did in your video. I don't think I would have any exhaust wiring on my vehicle seeing it was never an option right? I might of missed it in your video but where is the the power coming from that switches the motor actuator on and off? Thanks for your time..

Thank you, When i did the video, i didn't think about showing that part. But I was asked that, so i made a second video of how I did the power. Check it out it will show that detail part. But pretty much what I did is i bought a wiring kit for an electric cut out for exhaust with a two-way momentary switch off eBay. To add the power, i used a power port plug like the cigarette lighter plug and plug it into the port in the center console. I did it that way, so i wasn't tapping into any wire on the car. Plus, the plug is fused, so if i had any problems, that would pop before the car fuse would. I've had no issues doing it this way. Works great every time

Nice thank you!! One thing is I'm definitely no electrician, but if you had a visual picture on how to wire the wiring kit attaches to the active exhaust outside Servo motor. You did well showing the inside motor wiring process to the servo motor. I just don't know how that would look like wired up with the outside. Thanks again for your time..

In the other video i show the stuff i used and showed where i ran the wire and installed the switch and power plug. The kit is already pre wired so the only electrical work would be putting the plug on the motors and wire kit and making the wire a little longer to reach the center console if you choose to use that power port

When you installed the exhaust system, what did the hangers look like for the muffler section. I ask because when I bought my car the previous owner removed the active exhaust, and now when I reinstall it, the hangers seem way off.

The epoxy you used. Will it get too hot and melt/liquify and then gum up the gears?
@bluedakota805 ай бұрын
That's a good question. I used the Gorilla Glue epoxy. And it seems to be good. I haven't had any issues with it. There is also a small heat shield where it bolts in the place, which helps with the heat.

So I previously had active exhaust and went with the borlas and it don’t have active exhaust anyway I can make them with it?
@bluedakota80 Жыл бұрын
No, the reason is that on the active exhaust one of the tips is a straight through and is closed off when not being used or opened. On your Borlas exhaust its not going to have that same set up. If you take the active part off your stock exhaust and had it welded on you could make it quieter but not louder if that is what you are trying to do, then that is an option. The only way to make it louder if that is what you are shooting for then you would need to install a cutout before the muffler under the car.

What did you wire it to? An after market controller and remote or to the cars Active Exhaust wiring?

To a Momentary toggle switch plugged into the powerport in the center console. I have a video of how I did that. Check that out it will show how I ran it and what I used.

I installed 2020 active exhaust on my 2017 mustang but the sound is so quiet even if its opened and when i close there’s not much difference can u help me with that
@bluedakota80 Жыл бұрын
Might be a dumb question, but are they opening all the way. On mine, it is a noticeable difference from open to close. I know when i first put the motor on, i had that wire piece that connects it to the baffles in wrong, and it didn't work right. If not opening right, i would say start there.

Hi I am currently doing the same swap. What rear diffuser did you use?
@bluedakota802 жыл бұрын
I used the Roush rear diffuser for the quad tip exhaust. Google Roush performance. They have a bunch of performance parts and body parts. I found it on their website. And if you are unsure of installation I made a video showing how I did it. Also CJ pony parts made a video of installing it as well.

No the exhaust was a direct fit. And the tips fell nice and center. Was a simple swap out. I will be making a video of how I ran my power. I've had a few ask that question.

I just looked up the way a camaro servos are. I would say yes that it would be the same. Would have to take it apart and do the direct connection from the motor to the wiring plug. But I'm sure it's doable.

Where exactly did you run the power to? The car battery or fuse box? And is the toggle switch a 2 pin or 3 pin ?
@bluedakota803 жыл бұрын
I ran it to the power port and the center console. That's why nothing was hardwired. But you can run it to either one the battery fuse box or how I did it. The toggle switch is a 6 pin so you can reverse the polarity. And it has to be a momentary toggle switch so once you let it go it automatically goes into the off position. Which I bought off eBay that specifically for exhaust cutouts. It came with plenty of wire and the switch pre-wired I just added the connector to plug it into that port.

@@bluedakota80 okay cool!... you were able to use only one switch for both of the motors?? What type gauge wire did you use for this? And is there anything else you did through out the wiring process that was not recorded on the video?
@bluedakota803 жыл бұрын
@@driftblock3504 Yes I used the one switch for both sides. You can get single a dual exhaust kits. If you go on eBay and type in electric exhaust cutout switch there are complete kits. Will come with the switch and plenty of wire to run to the back of the car. The gauge wire is 18 I think. Don't buy the wireless ones. Most of those are preset for after market one and have to long of a duration time. Witch is not good for the motors. Out side of that it's was pretty straight forward mount the switch hook to your motor and pick witch way you want to power it. I used the power port so if it popped a fuse it was only on that and not anything else. Plus I can unplug it if I want to so if I take it in for service I don't have to worry about anyone playing with it.
