Adding non-active exhaust system to active exhaust car

[Shiori]

Hello:

I have a rattling butterfly valve in my new Flowmaster Active Exhaust system. I’m actually rather annoyed at the rattling and just wondering if I could put an exhaust system without active exhaust on (leave the actuators disconnected). Other than seeing the “active exhaust selection not available” prompt on my dash, is there any issues to this?

Thanks so much!

Just leave your actuators connected and tie them up so you wont have the message

Or you could just disable active exhaust with forscan.

Or maybe fix the valve.

I would be planning on getting a “non-active” exhaust. Is there a place to leave the actuators connected? Can I just tie up the actuators and leave them dangling?

The exhaust shop I’m at says they can’t fix the valve. I’ll have to return my Flowmaster Active Exhaust system. Trying to get Flowmaster to pay for shipping is the hard part.

Hey, do the complete favor, and tell him how . I haven't seen how to do that either, although I'll keep mine active. There's no nearly enough FORScan info on Mustangs as in F-150s, and other Ford models, unfortunately.

I did a lot of experimentation with the digital dash, with the expert advice of Livnitup (from the F-150 forum), but failed in all of what I wanted to change/add, including adding numbers to the coolant gauge, adding oil temperature to the middle gauge list, etc. I was only successful at removing the rear sequential turn-signals, and adding the fog lights as cornering lights. The other typical stuff (double-honk, bambi mod, engine fake noise and chime disable, etc.) was the same as the F-150.

You can tie them up or if you want to get fancy...

Nice, great find. Thanks so much. I didn’t know something like this existed!

In the how to guide for adding active exhaust to the 2018+ they show the mods to add active exhaust. You could just do it in reverse.
However I think the bracket idea And leaving the actuators is probably easier and then you can put it back later if you wanted.

To the OP:
If you decide to sell the actuators though, let me know. Got a set of mufflers without them and looking to add some.
