Borla mid pipes with stock NPP exhaust and kooks headers

jeffm4688 · 01-11-2019, 04:57 PM

So I've developed a slight exhaust leak around my high flow cats, and I have no desire to mess with it unless I'm going to improve upon something else, which is the dang AFM valves in the exhaust which I'd like to remove. I'm plagued with a 16 which as far as I know means I can't tune out the valves, I was planning on zip typing them under the car.

Has anyone here mated borla mid pipes(60607) on auto/manual to the stock NPP exhaust and headers with high flow cats? I'm not entirely sure if it's easily possible or if everything will fit together but it would be nice to know if I'm going to have trouble.

Anyone else have any comments or other ideas I should be looking at?

I have a 2016 and mine are tuned out. But yeah, I heard the zip tie method works fine.
To tune out the AFM is actually disabling DOD in the ECM I believe.

I wouldn’t see why you couldn’t do it if you take it to a exhaust shop the valves are very far back . On my borla mid pipe it’s a lot further up mates up to the mid pipes . I have mine for sell that I would make you a good deal on if you wanna try it .

For what its worth Stainless Works mids have a bracket to mount the valve motor to even though it's not actually actuating a valve. Keeps it a bit cleaner than zip tying it up. Would probably be a pain to get them to adapt between the headers and axelback though.
