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
Great info man I really appreciate all this. I plan on getting tuned after the install by doing this I plan on deleting the tuning aspect of AFM since this is the case I wouldn't need it any longer correct and the tuner can disable that code from popping up right?
