They give you the option of AFM valves or dummy mounts for cheaper that you can mount the AFM motors to but there's no actual valves inside the exhaust. It saves money but you'll hear the car sounding like a cylinder when it goes into v4 mode when using the dummy mounts over the actual AFM valve option.
So those are your choices, either transfer the valves to the new exhaust, don't replace that section, or go with Stainless Works over ARH. ARH did not bother to build a system compatible with automatic transmission/AFM cars. Neither did kooks

Maybe someone can help. Recently got a custom catback exhaust, installer removed the OEM pipes and the customs do not have AFM valves. He left the AFM wire and actuator connected to the car and ziptied them to the bottom of the car. All my research suggests that i shouldnt be throwing an AFM CEL but i am. Any reason im still throwing a CEL? Anything i can do to resolve this without tuning since i do not want to void my warranty?
