I had the Magnaflow resonated X pipe installed on my 2018 GT w/ active exhaust, now I cannot change my exhaust mode. It stays in Normal mode. Is anyone else having these issues? It is back at the muffler shop, I am hoping they can figure it out. I was driving and the digital screen kept flashing, "cannot select exhaust mode", it was creepy. I ordered the straight H pipe, because after all this I hate the sound of the magnaflow resonator. I should of just left it alone! :(

Same problem, the wire in the muffler was cut, Ford had to swap out the right muffler under warranty.

When the muffler shop put the exhaust back on, they pinched the wires on the passenger side. In turn because the wires were touching the frame, it blew the fuse. So they had to take the mid pipe off, push the entire exhaust towards the front of the car, then replaced the fuse and it works now. I ordered the H pipe, no resonator, because I do not like the resonated magna flow at all, I lost my raspy sound, it makes my car way to flat sounding. It should be in Thursday, but now I know that I have to watch the muffler guys and make sure they do not do pinch the wiring!!
