2018 Active Exhaust Install Guide

[derwin252]

Thanks.

Depending on what it takes to install I would consider it.

Do you have a link handy that shows how to do that?

I would start on page 54 of the thread.

I recommend reading from page 56, I also have some information on page 57 that might help. I don’t know how much different a 2015 model is though.

Hi, mustang GT 2020, PP1, 401a cluster here. No AE, No Magneride.

The AE fuses are confirmed under the hood, the AE cable - Not, but I have the right cables in the trunk.. sort of.
Also I have the plug as described in the post #684 by andrewtac. I would prefer to avoid messing around with cables myself, although I may have to if I don't find a better solution.

I looked through the whole topic several times and couldn't find an answer as to whether anyone had such a plug-in and found a way to use a ready-made adapter.

Additionally, it is possible to use the GT500 kit to separate the EVAP, but the connector does not match mine.

Please, any helpful advice?

I recommend starting from page 57 where I explained that I used the gt500 harness but removed the plug for the dif cooler. My car has magneride but I think you’re in the same boat as I was.

You need the 2 jumper harnesses and the primary splitter harness. I think total from Levittown Parts is like $170ish.
You should already have the relay as there are 3 fuses connected to that relay. But a 15 amp fuse for one of the slots is needed *SOMETIMES*. Your car might already be outfitted with it. It’s the fuse box under hood in the engine bay. Fuse port 34.

1x JR3Z-14A411-J (Y harness that splits)
2x JR3Z-14A411-H (Harness to actuator and wire)

don’t forget to enable the active exhaust functions in Forscan

2018 Mustang GT PP1 Base: So if I only have the Evap plug below. What else do I need to have functional exhaust ?

2018 Mustang GT PP1 Base: I only have the evap plugged in below. Would this harness be on the path I need to take for getting this going for my ride?

 

[derwin252]

Yes that is correct. The plug that goes to the evap is the one you need to replace with the harness from the GT500. You’re going to have to modify it a little bit to make it fit but it worked for me.

Thanks for the info. Which relays and fuses do I need to check for under the hood as well?

 

[derwin252]

Should be the two I circle I’m not too sure but it’s in the forum. Or u can just check you manual to see what they are for

Get the h pipe it doesn’t change quiet mode that much. All I have is an h pipe on my 2022.

Finally put on the H-pipe. I love the sound. It made every mode what it should be. Quiet is still quiet, normal is what you expect a V8 Mustang to sound like and Track is, well, INSANE! Haha

Glad you’re happy with it .

Post#858
I found the solution by finding the cable I need for my trunk connector. I'm leaving this here in this thread because it might be useful to someone.

I managed to activate the active exhaust in the digital display via forscan in IPC, but as emphasized in this topic, this is not a solution, because you also need to activate the function in PCM using, for example, HP Tuners software or change calibration file.
Maybe someone has found a solution to change some code in PCM via forscan.?

Maybe someone already been through this and can help the majority if AE can be activated via FORSCAN. We have mid-2024... there must be a cheap way out.

Anyone know where I can get the DC-DC converter? I tried contacting the OP @breeves002 but my account is new and can't message him. My 2017 is in Colombia so I'm limited to amazon or having my family ship the stuff here.
