It does, but for those that are changing the exhaust, it's much cheaper to buy the x pipe for manual cars that don't have AFM valves. In order to run a non AFM valve X pipe you need to disable the AFM valves in the FSCM or you get a CEL. or you can leave the controllers plugged in and tie them up under the car but that is hoaky imo.

In a nutshell, the afm valves no longer close if DOD is disabled , but they will still throw a CEL if unplugged from the system and again you don't disable them in the FSCM.
