My driver side Active Exhaust Valve Actuator Part Number JR3Z-5K245-B has failed and it looks like it is on back order with no ETA, so i was wondering if anyone might have a spare working one or know where in the UK i might be able to get it repaired.

How did the car behave with the broken actuator? Did it default to wide open, or to fully closed?

I see. Was it overly loud? Until you get the chance to fix it, can you still drive it without angering your neighbours and attracting the attention of every cop in the district?
While I do think that the AE is awesome, I'd hate to be left stranded if it failed.

No it was just like driving the car in Normal Exhaust Mode and the car drives normally with no issues.
