Well I am back and pleased to report that this gentleman absolutely knows what's talking about! I ended up opting to use heavy gauge steel wire to do this as opposed to the steel zip ties, as I found the steel zip ties simply are too rigid to be snugged up tight enough to hold the valve securely. However, I can report that from removing the spring and using the steel wire to keep the valve open, there is NO check engine light, whether I'm in regular or sport mode and I can hear NO discernible difference in my cranks, revs and gear shifts. This was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for the video!

Your check engine is on ?

Yeah is the check engine light on at all?

Is it still holding up, I got a 2020 charger RT & starting to hear rattle in my exhaust, was going to order the z automotive active exhaust delete but this would be wayyyy cheaper

@@TheLifeofKhalilHdid you do it? Have the same model

Thank you

Do both! And I appreciate it

I’m pretty sure the mid muffler delete is louder than the vibrant resonators but the vibrant resonators don’t have much rasp. (The rasp is not bad at all for the mid muffler delete) going down the road with the windows down mid muffler sounds great and doesn’t really get raspy at all, or at least I can’t tell from the inside. The only rasp I’ve heard was when doing revs in while parked, otherwise there’s barely any rasp

Awesome!

Which steel wire did you get?

You guys don’t get an active exhaust alert for this ?

Not sure what issue your referring to

@@pfmustang The issue with the actuator on my 2015 scat pack I was advised today by the dealership to buy a kit for it. The main issue is that when I bought the car the other day for my wife it sounded really good but after they put a new actuator on it now the car is very quiet.

Doubt it. Ask your dealership though

1. I was impatient and didn’t have it on me. 2. Others used zip ties and had no issues. 3. Still working fine with no issues.

which videos say that ?

That's Sinnamon

I just did mine this morning and the engine light is not on, but they say that 2019 and below will show a code.

So far so good

@@williamboone7170 2018 and below

I added it to my srt 392 chally and after a few months got code today u113f

​@@IGO0100REALQUICKWhat happens if you don't delete the code?

Yup, no point in paying for the aftermarket kits. If the zip tie doesn’t hold I’m just going to replace it with a metal zip tie. Only a couple bucks!

If it’s throwing a code you have a problem!

I believe you would need one of the Z Automotive kits in order to do it on a 17 without throwing a code

@@pfmustang can i do it on a 2018 rt and 2019

I don’t do any revs when it’s cold since it’s not good for the motor, but I can send you another cold start clip or some revs next time I drive it if you send me a message on IG

just some more sound, thats all.

I think it only works on 19 and up. Without throwing a code anyway.

Correct

@@johnv6806 Hi, what if the code appears and i switch back to stock. Will the code disappear?

@@nicoh3277 you might have to disconnect the battery to reset the computer but it should

Your remote start wont work because of the engine light. I have a 17 charger and when you remove the springs from the active exhaust valves it throws up an CEL.

So far so good

No it should be good from 2019 and up

Mechanics wire or metal zip ties

I used picture hanger wire and used the notches on the valve to hold them open.

@@cosmo411 I used stainless steel guitar strings for $5. Lol.

Yes there is. Sport mode only opens it up about 70% and that’s not at idle. In order for the valves to be open all the time you would have to keep the car in track mode which I don’t want to do on the daily. So rather than having to push buttons as soon as I get in the car every time and drive it in track mode, I spent 5 minutes and wired them open, and it’s free 👍🏻

Yes

The springs do I need to keep them off I put zip ties already n valves open but when I drive cold start makes a sound when I drive then goes away

Nope

No it revs as high as possible it’s a magic car

Being it’s on the valve and not directly on the pipe, it doesn’t seem to be a problem. I haven’t had any issues so far and neither have a few other people who have done it. But if you have them handy, you can use metal zip ties and really have no problem 👍🏻

And considering the body of the actuator motor is plastic I guess your right.

Yes 👍🏻

@@pfmustang how about 2019 and 2018 rts

@@franciscoarroyo3192 2018 will throw a vode

Nope

Nope

That still workin!

Sometimes you want the exhaust sound but don’t want to drive it in sport since it changes the traction control, steering stiffness and suspension stiffness. Also sport doesn’t keep them 100% open all the time.

Without the spring the valve will just rattle and move around. The spring keeps it stable and either opened or closed. That’s why you need the zip tie to keep the valve permanently open and not rattling around.

Just did my 2020 scat definitely make sure NO PLAY with zip ties any bit of play makes a nasty sound 😂

@@marlostanfield8127 gotcha gear I have a 2023 I’m going to end up straight piping the stock exhaust is so quiet I’m extremely underhelmed

Nope

There is no code

You are correct, just didn’t have any on hand. Got underneath and checked today, still intact and working good 👍🏻

Any tips?

​@adrianrobles8289 I had a similar issue but it sounded like a rattle for me. The spring was broken

@@adrianrobles8289 Last time that happened to me it was just the valves being dry. I added white lithium grease in spray form and lubed everything up. If the valves keep squeaking you can always do this to permanently fix it, the only issue is the exhaust mode will always be in TRACK even if you're in street. The round spring that tensions things up wont be making that noise, it is more likely that the valve on the inside of the tubing is making the sound from the constant moisture and heat cycling.

@@carlosbenitez3619 I did it works but when I step on it sounds like I got a turbo lol idk if it supposed to sound like that after

@@Erick3263hey i have a rattle did you fix it your self or do you have to take it to a shop?

Never had em

2019 and up no code.

That's why I would use mechanics wire

Going on a week with mine like this and still holding strong

Not necessarily, but if you're worried about that, go to a truck stop like loves or pilot and we got metal zip ties there

Because It’s not directly touching the exhaust pipes, doesn’t get very hot and haven’t had a problem with it in over a year

Yes you don’t want a code

@@pfmustang but it affects the operation of the car

I tried them, couldn’t get them snug enough. Had the regular zip ties on there the whole time and no issues

We all make mistakes 🤷🏻‍♂️

Still going strong 🤷🏻‍♂️

So far so good 👍🏻

That’s because it’s a 2019, not compatible

@@pfmustang I ain’t do this I did a active exhaust delete and it came on just took out the springs

I heard that it doesn't work on the 5.7. it'll throw a cel.

@@jeffreynye3019 Yea I just put my springs right back in and it came off

@@lowkeylaflare so does it stay open still with the springs in and zipped tied open?

Lol no knowledge about what you are talking about

@@shinismoove that's because you don't know shit about car's

Still holding up just fine

Well a year and a half later I still have no check engine light

Why would it throw a code? Nothing is disconnected electronically; it's just removing the 2 springs that actually rotate the small doors open and closed. The system is still connected so the PCM would never notice the difference. It's actually a genius hack by this gentleman, I'm doing my 2021 Scat pack shaker widebody this weekend. Although I'm using stainless steel zip tie bands that will never melt or break. And, saving $200.00 too!

100% you're an idiot. The valve continues to stay open and the actuator still moves open and closed. It operates just like a throttle body. Just because you spent $200 for .30 cents worth of bypass wiring doesn't make you a genius. If you would've taken the time to take apart the actuator you'd know that all it takes is a removing the center spring, fix the exhaust valve, and remount it. I've had it like this for 3 years, the actuator opens and closes like normal, and I have never had a check engine light.
