You guys are doing great work wow. I would have just started straight off the bat with an arduino

My base 2018 GT doesn’t have this plug :(

Which package you have?
I was hoping all them have the plug. I have 301A and haven't checked it yet. I will check it this weekend

 

[ponyv6]

any update about using it as plug and play with 2018s?

I'd be interested in this too. My friend hasn't found the harness yet, I'll probably ping him on that again today to see if he has any more time to devote to finding it.


He did find the part number for the actuator pair, but there was no price for it so it might not be available yet/not at all?
JR3Z-5K245-B is the part for the actuator pair.


The mufflers, as have already been posted I think are:
JR3Z-5230-FA
JR3Z-5230-FB


Just need that harness. I also need to find myself some actuators, but that's another story.

Crazy that the dealer can't find the harness part number. I wonder if this is by design on Ford's part? Maybe they don't want the average user to retrofit this on cars that didn't come from the factory.

Also, do the mufflers come with the actuators already?

If you have the harnesses, it’s plug and play for Premium packs it seems

I have a 301a. Let me know if you find something.

Man! I was so exited. I am out of town. As soon as I go back i will check it.

Same here! I have all the factory harnesses too

Ok, but I don't think anyone has identified the harness, right?

If I understand correctly even with the premium pack there is still a harness that needs to be bought/made? The harness that goes from the main plug to the mufflers themselves is still MIA, unless I've missed something.

I have that harness that combines the harness. Just doesn’t have a label with the part number

Yeah, apparently he isn't the first one to struggle finding that part. I'll bug him about it again later to see if he can get anywhere, but I'm not going to hold my breath.


The mufflers do come with the actuators, but I already have access to a full active catback. I ONLY need the actuators and the harness, I'd rather not blow money on new mufflers just for the actuator motors. I'm about to start calling junk yards, see if I can get lucky. I've got an aftermarket setup I'm happy with, but I'd love to get this retrofitted, enjoy it for a bit, then swap on a corsa or some other system that utilizes the active system.

Do we know if the Roush system uses the same actuators? Or the GT350 system?

How did you get that harness? I have a premium, 401a, convertible, and would love to add the active exhaust.

I bought the exhaust from a local guy and he gave me the harness.

I have that plug on a 400a convertible non-active exhaust, without performance pack. If someone makes a harness and this is plug and play, I sure would be interested.
