Thank you for the reply. I am trying to mimic what was done on page 46 post #687 where they just flashed the PCM with a calibration from a car with active exhaust. I have a PP2 so not many options besides AE and no AE. I’m not really interested in tuning if I don’t have to but I have already accumulated all components so that may be my only option as I really don’t want to wing it and brick this PCM.
You don’t have to flash a tune. I used my hptuner to access the PCM and turn on the feature. Active 1 & 2. (Top right)

I don’t currently have a tuner. I assume I would have the go the same route as if I was going to tune as in needing to buy the credits? Or because you don’t flash it doesn’t need credits.

Yea, I think I did have to buy credits. You might have to flash the PCM from another car I guess. My car is a roush/pretty much a fully loaded pp1. Only thing missing was AE. Never tried to DL my PCM data and I’m not sure if you can use mine. Can it be done through Forscan?

From these older post 2 people claimed to do it. You do need Forscan beta to flash. The PP2s aren’t common so I am having trouble getting people to send me the as built data to copy. I do appreciate the help man, I am going to just end up paying for credits vs paying for a bricked PCM replacement.

Good luck, that’s probably the safer route.
