@ModifiedMechanic this will not give you the significant volume increase of a mid muffler or rear resonator delete.

It’s not a pleasant sound where the low pitched roar of a properly tuned exhaust is perfection👌 This mod will make it a little louder, give you some pops on the downshift and eliminate any issues you may have with the active exhaust ( valve squeaks, CELs)

I got the plugs about a month and a half ago and can confirm the dust plugs for the actuators come in the kit now, although I had to figure out what they were for at first, since the online instructions doesn't mention them at all. But also, FYI, I confirmed on 19+ 6.4s that removing the spring and just wiring the valves open does work without throwing a code. I pulled the actuators off the valves and pointed a camera at them on startup to see the movement and all they do is spin about 270 degrees (vs. the normal 90 when operating normally) and go back into the default open mode and don't move at all after that until the next startup when they do the same quick check. For some reason this doesn't seem to work on 5.7s and I honestly don't know about the hellcats. Great vid as always!

You can use the SRT mode and set the car to track and the valves will stay open. Some people don’t want to change their drive mode all the time. So adding the inactive exhaust even with the TaZer is an attractive option.

This is awesome mines making that squeak when i hit the gas pedal so annoying ordering now

Subscribed, your videos rock. Quick question....looking at the website about the Tazer it says "Force Engine Mode: Allows you to choose which engine mode to stay in. Very useful on 2015+, where you want the active exhaust to remain open with increased throttle response without the transmission being in track mode." but the instruction manual speaks nothing of it so if you buy a Tazer, is this still a requirement to keep the exhaust valves open in all modes?

Awesome gonna order now

Hey man, sorry, hope I didn't damage your like button, because I slammed it instead of treating it gently. But seriously, I had to get the entire cat-back replaced twice on my '18 TA due to rattles, once at 100 miles, and again at 2300 miles. Sad how FCA handled that, could have saved a lot of money on their end (both in parts and labor) just having spare actuator modules and associated parts in the supply chain instead of fully assembled cat-backs. So far, the AE on my '20 1320 is working just fine with almost 5k miles on it. I should note that I'm one of those guys that thinks the stock 392 exhaust is more than OK, and likes being able to go quieter when slabbing it or just cruising, so the Inactive Exhaust would be a last resort if I couldn't get warranty repair and then couldn't find replacement modules.

@@WorkPlayDrive but the valves are always open with red key track mode correct? Exactly when are they closed?

They fluctuate between open and closed all the time unless you’re in track mode. But the problem with track mode is no one wants to drive in stiff mode everywhere.

mine threw a code and mechs say its a bad valve or that damn actuator..... if it is a bad actuator will this product still work and will the valves be open

Yes this simulates the actuator so if your actuator is broken this will make it seem like a working one. The only thing I would recommend is the make sure the valve is open in case your actuator broke in the closed position.

Do you need to unplug the battery or just leave the car off

It’s recommended to unplug the negative battery terminal.

So this leaves your active exhaust open?

Yes it leaves your active exhaust open and disconnected and the Inactive exhaust sends the appropriate response on the bus to ensure you don’t get a check engine light.

So, MFER-1 or this one?

Both are excellent and serve the same purpose. The ZAutomotive solution takes out all the moving parts so if you have faulty actuators or squeaky parts this is the best option.

Mopar or no Car

Only issue is the longevity of this device vs the mechanical version. And the actuators seizing up after a few years from being dormant. But I guess, at that point. Get a whole new cat back.

Reach out to their customer support. I identified the issue once I received my set. It took them a few days to source the parts. They should be able to send you a set.
