***UPDATE 9/9/22…checked on the zip ties and they are still holding strong and tight just like when I put them in there for this video. Car now has 4,400 miles on it and no issues w the zip ties!
Super simple and took me 20 minutes; most of that time was putting the car on the tire ramp. It’s not a mind-blowing difference but the sound is improved. Thank you for sharing!
Hey I had comment awhile ago ,I want tell love yr videos the way you explain everything,ya make doing stuff so much better with yr help ,so thanks for taking the time to do these helpful videos,ya seem like a straight up cool dude , thanks
Just did this to my 2021 scat pack shaker wide body, came with the Borla Atak system and I could hear the creaky doors opening when I hit the "start" button. This worked perfectly and and it costs just 4 steel zip ties! Great video, thanks again!
Just remember this only works on 2019 and newer without throwing a code. Still works on older models but everyone with earlier year models says it throws a code.
This is awesome, thank you. So, when I got under my car to look at mine they were in the 10 o'clock and 4 o'clock position ( I started it to get it up on the ramps and it was slightly warm). Your video shows the open position as 2 o'clock and 8 o'clock. Just to make sure your video is not transposed or mirrored, is 2 o'clock and 8 o'clock the OPEN position? Thank you again very much!
Passenger side open is 2 and 8 o clock. Can’t remember if driver was the same but definitely 2 and 8 on passenger. I had the camera in there just to make sure.
Mopar Life: First kudos for a meticulous garage and..beautiful car. Your tip is easy enough. For me, CAN'T tolerate the horribly sluggish throttle response in either "auto" or.."sport" mode. Had a 2020 Charger Scat Pack Widebody. Loved the car, except I had to keep it in track mode (trans/engine) ALWAYS or else it just..didn't respond (in the right gear to accelerate immediately). Sold the car to get a manual version. Love Scat Pack's and about to order a 6-speed manual version of your car (Barton shifter from day 1). We are AGREED the factory exhaust is wonderful when the valves are open (especially once I installed headers on mine) 👍.
@@moparlifescatpack Glad the petal commander worked out for you. For me, automatics just DON'T do it. Scat Pack's are heavy cars (4300+ lbs) so to have the immediate response I prefer, manual transmission is a must have. Yes the ZF transmission will shift quicker than I can, but it doesn't provide the joy of driving that a stick does and paddle shifting ISN'T the same. Just how I am wired. Looking forward to Barton shifter and driving around in the gear of my choice. Enjoy your car sir👍.
@@victorwilburn3498 I have a 22 Scat with 6pd and the throttle still has a sluggish response and it drives me nuts. I am used to immediate throttle response from my past cars and it just isn't there with this, especially when heal toeing or driving aggressively. Even just spirited driving around town is annoying when you let off the gas and the engine takes a second to respond and wind down. Oh and don't get me started on rev matching when downshifting.... sigh. I am going to look into a pedal commander for mine.
@@jeffhershberger Jeff: Thanks for heads up on manual car. Automatic was "undrivable" except in track mode. Based on your feedback, I will add a petal commander to my list for "must have" stuff so the Scat Pack has all 500 HP on duty ALL the time. Marvelous cars, that just need a few "tweaks" to be fully unleashed in..near stock trim. OEM, Dodge did ALOT of tuning on the cars which is distinct based on drive mode. The differences in how the car responses with which level of traction/stability control for example, just makes me..laugh and envious of the engineer paid to..test how..sideways the car..can rotate on throttle at a given setting before nannies kick in OR..NOT. WHAT a job to be..PAID for..THAT👍.
All i did was start my scat and set it on track mode since the flaps open on track mode, and find the fuse for the active exhaust and unplugg. Have a check engine light but it doesnt bother me. Sounds how its suppose to sound👍🏽
🤞🏻 I’ll be keeping an eye (and ear) on them. If they melt I’ll try a thicker one. Time will tell. The plastic on the module doesn’t melt so I imagine they’ll be good but if they do I’ll definitely post an update.
So far with everything you've done using the zip ties. Is still working correctly without triggering the engine light? We happen to have a 2021 Challenger R/T Scat Pack Widebody Shaker. Can you share the link on those magnetic jack points.
i have 2016 scat pack rt 6.4. i just had muffler delete..... when driving and it down shifts its so sweet to here the exaust poping like a big rig.....
If it ain’t loud u ain’t proud lol gotta have it doing mid muffler delete next week! They say the mid muffler is what mainly causes the squeak or looseness of the valve flap but if it happen either do this method or delete them all together it’s plenty of kits but I spent $8.99 on metal zip ties and regular zip ties and it’s fixed sooo… y’all be safe out there
@@carlosbigard2853 Mine was squeaking at like 30k miles with the stock exhaust I did mid muffler delete at like 42k anyway kind of want to do this but hows it on the freeway at 75-80 mph?
@@justinpeterson6839 it’s drives just fine I did 110mph on the hwy and got back home let the car kool down and went under the car and took both Actuators off to see how the zip ties were holding and there still perfect…they have kits and all to delete the issue permanently…
@@carlosbigard2853 I was talking more about the drone while you're in the highway since part throttle would essentially have the flaps closed at like 75 or 80 instead of wide open all the time
Thanks for this video I’m def going to try this myself! I think I’ll look for metal zip ties just to better deal with heat rather than plastic. I love my cold start sound but after warming up the idle is too quiet.
I actually did some more research and found out that apparently this only works for scat packs and higher so for my 5.7 it will throw a code if I try to tie it off. I’m going to look into the Z automotive kit that plugs in.
Had a mid muffler and rear res delete on my 20 Scat and it sounded louder than my 2021 scat with the same mods. You think it’s because of something with the active exhaust?
Hey Mad, not sure if someone responded below. I believe it's the larger catalytic converters on the 21's. They are massive in the 21's. I had a 19 and noticed the difference. Just floor it and your sadness just goes away :).
I got a 2017 charger 392 I wonder if I’ll get check engine light. I know people get check engine lights when they take out the fuse when the car is cold but this should do it
the valves still close in track mode when ur not on the gas. which is why IMO dodges active exhaust is terrible. ford does a good job at the whole active exhaust thing
After removing that rotating spring, would the force of the exhaust in itself not keep those little flaps wide open? Do you really have to tie it down or would it cause metal clanking?
I wanted to do this on my 5.7 rt but ended up having the shop completely remove the whole valve off and weld a replacement pipe with the actuator zip tied somewhere down there. Cost me 150 bucks but worth it. Good video and pretty clean garage 👍🏼
I have a 2016 scat pack. This fix worked but i wasn’t able to remove the springs without it throwing a code. My issue was the terrible rattling. The zip ties will fix the rattling but you need to keep the springs on to avoid your car throwing a code.
I have a 2019 challenger r/t and did this mod and removed the springs and threw a code within 20 mins of driving. Will keeping the springs in fix it? With the break the actuator of the spring doesn’t move flap?
After doing this in my 19 I had no issues for a few weeks and now I’m getting a po1128? Anyone have this issue? Wonder if it’s related to the active exhaust mod? Car has 27,000 miles on it I can’t see an o2 really going bad?
Still holding as good as when I put them on! I checked them not too long ago and no signs of wear at all. Some commenters say they use metal zip ties but I haven’t had any issues with the ones I used in the video.
I have a 19 widebody scat and I've been looking at exhausts because its too quiet. After seeing this I might just do a mid muffler delete and keep the valves open with your trick and save a few grand.
From factory the valves open fully at cold start then close as it idles. After this mod they stay open forever under any condition no matter what drive mode or anything you set the car in.
The engine light came on after running my car several minutes after completing spring removal. Yes I made sure the valve was open and wire was still attached. I have a 2019 RT. Bummer!
I just got a challenger 19 r/t and got a muffler delete I always hear like this rattlesnake noise around 25-40 mph sport mode off with sport mode on it’s good but what is it should I do this mod with my hemi? Cause I just want it to sound clean
Question where are you putting your jack stand in the rear? Are they flat topped? I can’t find any good place to place them worried of breaking or bending something.
I use the pinch welds and use this on the jack stand.

So doing this actually fixed my problem on my r/t 19, that annoying rattlesnake sound finally gone 😭 now I’m nervous about a slight small ticking from the engine side is that normal for challengers? I have 31k miles car runs fine
I zip tied mine in the open position. After the first drive the exhaust was hissing loudly under throttle and chirping at idle. Sounded awful. Get back under the car and inspect and the valves were partially closed and moving freely. Not sure how they moved as the zip tie felt nice and sturdy. Might try again! This is on the hellcat but I believe components are the same.
@@moparlifescatpack nice, i have a 21 charger 392 Daytona that I did a resonator delete and added supper 44’s in place of the stock mufflers. I’ll be doing this active exhaust delete on mine Sunday.
Definitely not. The valves open and close naturally depending on drive modes so all this is doing is just keeping them open making more of an open exhaust. Totally harmless.
Ah ok so theyre both clockwise, i thought passenger was on opposite side. My 2023 scat has almost 1900 miles. Got the mids deleted today and going to do this tomorrow. Thanks for the helpful video and quick reply!
@@marlostanfield8127 I wouldn’t see how it could void the exhaust warranty but its 100 percent reversible if you ever need to take it in for exhaust issues. As for tips…I recommend the raccoon performance 4” quad tips. raccoonperformance.com.co/ They look incredible and sound great. Here’s a link to my video on how to install. ruclips.net/video/cDi6pPw7DyU/видео.htmlsi=TBtuypTBqm1cnlt3
I’ve never noticed any droning issues and have never had any passengers complain about it being too loud. It’s completely reversible though if you end up not liking it.
@@moparlifescatpack alright thanks :) in tired of putting the car in track mode just to hear it pop and purr properly 😂 hopefully this does the trick and i can cruise on auto
Thanks mate for the quick reply. Do you have any idea how to solve the engine problem after doing this? I live in Germany and there is a few people in here that have experience with mopar cars 😢
@@majdalhaddad9166 Unfortunately for your year you would need to buy an electronic bypass in order to keep the check engine light from coming on. This trick will only be useful on a 2019 and newer.
Since this video alot of people have suggested that and that’s probably not a bad idea. I didn’t know of metal zip ties when I made this video and if my other ones ever fail I’ll go to metal ones but so far so good.

Sorry to resurrect an old comment but to know that the flap is open, the notches on the round portion on top should be pointed to the right?

Just set your Custom Drive Mode page to either Sport or Track for the transmission and it will stay open and you don't have to get under the car.
not how it works.
the valves still close in track mode when ur not on the gas. which is why IMO dodges active exhaust is terrible. ford does a good job at the whole active exhaust thing
😊great video information thanks
Thanks!
Sounds a lot better! Is the zip tie still holding up fine?
Zip ties still as solid as the day I put them on.
How long have you had the zip ties exhaust getting hot not melting the zip tie ???
Still going strong. Hasn’t melted at all from posting the video until this post.
Hi great vid following I'd like to do that to my 2021 scat challenger mine is manual transmission I'd like to have it a little louder
It definitely gives it that low speed sound it needed when those valves would normally be closed.
I don’t even own one but this is a cool mod. The zip tie doesn’t melt? I know it’s not touching the exhaust but its got to get hot right?
Hasn’t melted yet
They make a heavy "mechanics" wire that won't break. I think you can find it at the parts store.
The zip tie turned out to be way easier and way more secure. I’ll update if it ever fails though.
@@moparlifescatpack please keep us updated on the zip ties still working I’ll be trying this tomorrow
After you zip tied the valves open, did you put the moduals back on minus the springs?
Exactly. I popped the springs off and put the modules back in place.
Good evening, my apologies if l missed you speaking it but did you put the spring back on?
Leave the spring off. Store it somewhere in case you ever want to make it be an active exhaust again. This procedure is completely reversible.
What about running it in sport mode.
After removing that rotating spring, would the force of the exhaust in itself not keep those little flaps wide open? Do you really have to tie it down or would it cause metal clanking?
It would clank like crazy! You definitely need to keep them in place.
I wanted to do this on my 5.7 rt but ended up having the shop completely remove the whole valve off and weld a replacement pipe with the actuator zip tied somewhere down there. Cost me 150 bucks but worth it. Good video and pretty clean garage 👍🏼
What did you do about the spring?dont the other side spin?so wouldn't you have to put something in there to have it stop spinning?
Remove the springs (both sides) and zip tie to flaps in the open position. Store the springs somewhere so you can put it back if you ever decide to.
Still holding well? Will this work on 2017 T/A 392? It's a bit loud already but not really...
2017 needs the actual delete kit. Worth the $150 bucks. Khaos motorsports has great ones
Did you actually remove the devices or did you leave them in and tie the valve to keep from throwing a code?
Just tie off. The car needs the active exhaust to stay on or it throws codes and messes with it
I have a 2016 scat pack. This fix worked but i wasn’t able to remove the springs without it throwing a code. My issue was the terrible rattling. The zip ties will fix the rattling but you need to keep the springs on to avoid your car throwing a code.
I believe on the 2016s will throw a code w this mod no matter what you do…as far as I know. I took my springs out but left the modules on.
I have a 2015 and I want to do it without throwing a code so I should leave the springs in?
I have a 2019 challenger r/t and did this mod and removed the springs and threw a code within 20 mins of driving. Will keeping the springs in fix it? With the break the actuator of the spring doesn’t move flap?
so you left the springs on ???
After doing this in my 19 I had no issues for a few weeks and now I’m getting a po1128? Anyone have this issue?
Wonder if it’s related to the active exhaust mod? Car has 27,000 miles on it I can’t see an o2 really going bad?
Same in 2017 it’s cause the spring
Any way to put the springs back in and still lock it open with the zip ties ? Just so if I ever want to change back I could just cut zip ties
No you need to leave the springs out for this to work. To reverse it you’d have to cut the zip ties and put them back in.
Great vid! Are the zip ties still holding till this day?
Still holding as good as when I put them on! I checked them not too long ago and no signs of wear at all. Some commenters say they use metal zip ties but I haven’t had any issues with the ones I used in the video.

Before the delete, was it, making a rattling noise? Or you did it for just the sound?
I didn’t have any rattles. Just did it for the sound.
I started to get scared because I’m barely at 2k miles in my 2022 RT charger and literally sounds like a V6
Do I need to out the springs back in or I can leave them out.. I have 2021 charger scat
DO NOT put them back in. They stay out of the car. 👍🏻
Did you keep the springs out when you tied the valves open?
Yes. Keep the springs out.
maybe you gotta use steel zip ties,
cuz you know,.......exhaust 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I have a 19 widebody scat and I've been looking at exhausts because its too quiet. After seeing this I might just do a mid muffler delete and keep the valves open with your trick and save a few grand.

I was wondering what this would sound like with the mid muffler delete also. Did you end up doing both?
@@KevinLeeLowhorn i did a mid muffler delete and it is a bit louder but not that much difference. Still thinking about getting a new exhaust.
So if u shotdown the car. The valves will automatically open till next start and then close after like 1 minute?
From factory the valves open fully at cold start then close as it idles. After this mod they stay open forever under any condition no matter what drive mode or anything you set the car in.
You could just put it in sport mode and it opens them up too
The engine light came on after running my car several minutes after completing spring removal. Yes I made sure the valve was open and wire was still attached. I have a 2019 RT. Bummer!
That is a bummer. Make sure you didn’t put the spring back in. It stays off the car.
Mine came on too but I left the springs in instead of taking them out. Code reads “ lost connection to valve 2)
Maybe a dumb question or i missed it in the video but did you remove the spring completely and not put it back after all?
Correct! The spring stays out!

I just got a challenger 19 r/t and got a muffler delete I always hear like this rattlesnake noise around 25-40 mph sport mode off with sport mode on it’s good but what is it should I do this mod with my hemi? Cause I just want it to sound clean
That rattlesnake noise may a loose connection somewhere when they did your muffler delete. Maybe a hanger is rubbing or something.
This can’t be done on a 18?
Question where are you putting your jack stand in the rear? Are they flat topped? I can’t find any good place to place them worried of breaking or bending something.
I use the pinch welds and use this on the jack stand. Hope that helps!

Would this work for my 2017 scat pack or would I need get the mechanical plugs
I’m pretty sure your year it will not work without triggering a check engine light. You would probably need the bypass one.
Anyone know where to buy the sensor mentioned to bypass the check engine light?
They’re called Z automotive active exhaust delete kits. It’s just a thing you plug in. $200
Yessssa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I see it’s been 8 months as of today. How’s it handling? Same zip ties still on? Any codes?
No codes and zip ties still going strong!

I'd it with exhaust simulator kit and the check engine light comes out any advice out there
This only works on 2019 and newer from what Im told.
So doing this actually fixed my problem on my r/t 19, that annoying rattlesnake sound finally gone 😭 now I’m nervous about a slight small ticking from the engine side is that normal for challengers? I have 31k miles car runs fine
They do have a tick but it’s always best to let a professional listen. They can tell the difference between a bad tick and a normal Hemi tick.
Did you have the rattlesnake noise on cold starts!?? I have the same car as you and it’s been doing it since I bought it.
Had a ticking noise on the left side found out it was two of my header bolts broke off common for these cars
Small ticking in mine aswell man . Did u ever figure urs out ??
Why she sound like a Hellcat 😍
Right
What could you do if one of those modules broke complete off of the exhaust?
You’d probably want to get another module.
I zip tied mine in the open position. After the first drive the exhaust was hissing loudly under throttle and chirping at idle. Sounded awful. Get back under the car and inspect and the valves were partially closed and moving freely. Not sure how they moved as the zip tie felt nice and sturdy. Might try again! This is on the hellcat but I believe components are the same.
Dude! I’m having the same problem I believe , I did the whole zip tie thing but my exhaust is hissing and it sound annoying
@@user-wo1cv9sc9c yeah I just put the springs back in and have been enjoying it haha. I want a borla cat back!
Great channel! Question tho, why not just run her in sport or track mode, valves are open then, or use custom.
They still close when stopped.
They never actually stay open so when u wanna rev the car it sounds like junk
So are you zip-tying it open and not installing the spring back in?
Zip tie it open but DO NOT put the springs back. They stay off the car.
Aren’t u experiencing lost of power in low gears? I’ve done this one almost a year now but still keeping it as my borla squeaks as hell.
I haven’t noticed any loss of power. She moves out quick!
How do you like your borla exhaust? Is it the "s" ?
Does this mean I can drive with sport mode off and valves open? Meaning louder but easier on gas?
It’ll be same on gas probably unless you constantly floor it like I do…lol But yes the valves are open 100% of the time even in regular mode.
They have metal zip ties at any Ace Hardware. 👍
Just did this the other day video coming soon I’m editing it! Also
I used both metal and plastic for more support 2 on both sides
Just found this video, what exhaust are you running?
Mid muffler delete and I have added quad tips since this video.

@@moparlifescatpack nice, i have a 21 charger 392 Daytona that I did a resonator delete and added supper 44’s in place of the stock mufflers. I’ll be doing this active exhaust delete on mine Sunday.
@@BjornStyrmir easy peasy! Enjoy that Mopar!
Do you have any rattle from it being open?! Cause I do using cable ties.
No rattles Make sure they are tied firmly.
I zip tied them firmly and still have a rattle too. Did you get yours resolved ?
Do you have to worry about anything doing this like blowing your engine or something
Definitely not. The valves open and close naturally depending on drive modes so all this is doing is just keeping them open making more of an open exhaust. Totally harmless.
Do you think I can get away with just tack welding it to stay open?
I don’t know anything about tack welding but the zip ties are completely reversible, if need be, and super easy to do.
Great mod brother I’m bout to go Jack up the Daytona 392 🏃🏾♂️💨💨
Awesome! You’ll love it!
The valve on drivers side rotated clockwise is open? Is it counterclockwise on the passenger side?
Go to 3:20 in the video. It shows the open position for the passenger side. Hope this helps
Ah ok so theyre both clockwise, i thought passenger was on opposite side. My 2023 scat has almost 1900 miles. Got the mids deleted today and going to do this tomorrow. Thanks for the helpful video and quick reply!
@@Asm0daus
After the mid muffler delete and valve deal get those tips from my other video. Absolutely PERFECT sound now.
@@moparlifescatpackdoes the mid delete void warranty? And which Tips do you recommend?
@@marlostanfield8127 I wouldn’t see how it could void the exhaust warranty but its 100 percent reversible if you ever need to take it in for exhaust issues. As for tips…I recommend the raccoon performance 4” quad tips. raccoonperformance.com.co/
They look incredible and sound great. Here’s a link to my video on how to install. ruclips.net/video/cDi6pPw7DyU/видео.htmlsi=TBtuypTBqm1cnlt3
I wonder if this will work on a 2015 Hellcat
Will probably throw a code if I had to guess.
Any check engine light?
No check engine lights on 2019 and newer.
After driving my Challenger I noticed that there’s like a exhaust leak coming from the exhaust actuator with the zip ties
Did you remove the springs and leave them off the car then put the actuators back on after you zip tied them?
A year later are the zip ties still intact ?
Yep. Still as good as when I put them on. I check periodically just to be sure.
What happens if you just unplug them?
You will probably get a CEL (check engine light) because the computer thinks its not working.
did you put the spring back on bro?
Nope. Remove the spring but put the actuators back on.
Does it drone on the highway with valves always open?
I’ve never noticed any droning issues and have never had any passengers complain about it being too loud. It’s completely reversible though if you end up not liking it.
@@moparlifescatpack alright thanks :) in tired of putting the car in track mode just to hear it pop and purr properly 😂 hopefully this does the trick and i can cruise on auto
@@Emantu I’ve been loving it. No regrets at all.
Anyone know of this will work on 2015-2018 Scatpack?
My understanding is that on those years it will throw a code.
Hello, does this also work on Dodge charger R/T 2018 ??
I don’t believe that it does without popping a check engine light. Pretty sure it only works on 2019 and newer.
Thanks mate for the quick reply.
Do you have any idea how to solve the engine problem after doing this?
I live in Germany and there is a few people in here that have experience with mopar cars 😢
@@majdalhaddad9166
Unfortunately for your year you would need to buy an electronic bypass in order to keep the check engine light from coming on. This trick will only be useful on a 2019 and newer.
What if you use metal zipties
Since this video alot of people have suggested that and that’s probably not a bad idea. I didn’t know of metal zip ties when I made this video and if my other ones ever fail I’ll go to metal ones but so far so good.
Did you put the springs back on after?
No. Springs stay out.
The whole point of the video is to take the springs out.
I'd love to give 10000 like for this video, but unfortunately, I can't
Awesome! Thanks for checking it out. Browse the channel and hopefully you can find something else helpful! Mopar baby!!
Update on zip ties after 10 months??
Still no issues and they are on and tight and doing perfect. I recently checked them and no issues.
