Dodge Charger / Challenger - Remove the Active Exhaust - INSTALLATION

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2024
- {Note: As of November 2022, the Inactive Exhaust Kit no longer looks like this, it was redesigned with a more robust heat-resistant, automotive-grade plastic with an included fastening loop. Although the design has changed, the instructions remain the same}
If you want to remove the active exhaust valves on your Dodge or Chrysler vehicle, you need a valve simulator to prevent the Check-Engine light and diagnostic trouble codes.
Here is the simplest, fully electronic solution! Other options on the market are purely mechanical; require re-using the valves and mounting them to a dummy plate.
Installation:
1: Get under the vehicle and unplug both active exhaust valves.
2: Plug in the Inactive Exhaust modules. Secure in place with a zip-tie.
3: That’s it! You can leave the valves in place if you have a stock system and just want the valves open all the time. Or you can remove them completely - even sell them!
Great for those that:
-want the exhaust valves open full-time
-want to remove or disable “noisy valves” as it is common for them to rattle
-have faulty valves and don’t want the expense of replacing them
-installing aftermarket exhaust and are completely removing the valves
Removes Active exhaust codes:
• U113f left
• U1140 right
•P121B performance exhaust valve
This kit contains two parts - one is the inactive exhaust module, with an automotive-grade microprocessor that communicates with the vehicle to make it think that the valves are installed and functioning properly. The other part is a dummy waterproof connector to keep the second valve’s plug from corrosion.
Works on all systems used in Chargers, Challengers and 300’s from 2015 to present.
Proudly made in the USA!

Every year I would need to get under my car and fix my valves to clear the light, what a pain in the ass that is. Thank you for making this product, what a time saver.
Very welcome
I got it from summit… awesome product well thought out… put it on my 2023 charger super bee
I like the NEW design, the the 1st gen like the one in this video doesn't last long in rain and snow. i go through an auto car wash and get the underbody spray so it only lasted like 3 months, I take it off because its overheating and wet inside. I since bought the new design but as a precaution I've used a zip lock bag and zip tied it closed so no water will be getting through this time.
Yeah we agree, the new design is much more robust for various conditions
I need this like tomorrow… I got a code P121B. Active Exhaust Valve 2 performance/ Replace Exhaust Flap Control Valve…it’s has a little rattle sometimes and I can tell it only coming from the right side pipe like it’s sticking or something…my hat sounds like it has a stuffy noise and can only breath out of one nostril! I believe this kit would help a lot… I don’t mind them being in the open position i need my performance back and that check engine light to come off it’s killing me lol
After instal did your check engine light go off?
Great product!! Fixed my issues 🎉😊
Very happy to hear that!! Out of curiosity, which vehicle and year do you have?
Do you need to do anything to open the valves after these are installed, or do they default to open when the car is turned off? Definitely getting these soon!
Will be purchasing next week and I’ll upload a video as well doing installation on my 2018 RT Hemi!!! Great video much appreciated for your services💪🏽🤙🏽
@@zautomotive much appreciated y’all are saving our babies we love our cars it’s all fun and enjoying life!!!
so did it work?
Isn’t it the same as leaving it in sport mode?
I just installed these today so I have to reset the engine light after? Or will it go off by itseld
Do i need two kits both pipes have a rattle
Now after getting this I want the tazer!
I have a 2016 Challenger Scat and put these on, and I am still throwing a check engine light. I thought this was supposed to work to get rid of the actuator?
Edit--I went ahead and emailed their support, they helped me from beginning to end. They answered all my questions I had about what to do.
Could be something else then, please email our support staff and they can help you troubleshoot the issue - email support@zautotech.com
Mine is doing the same thing now. I've had it for a year and no codes. Just started having these codes. 21 charger 5.7
What was the solution to the error codes?

So exhaust valve doesn’t need to be open before install ?
Valves are open when engine is off.
Awesome....I gota get this 👍🏼🔥💨
Doesnt work for my 23 challenger RT Is there a way to test them not on the car ???? I unplug the battery erase the two code but the CEL keep poping right after startup … Help can’t stand a brand new car with a orange light in the Dash

Question. My Active valves actuator shorted out due to rain will this fix my problem ? I have a check engine light on and my exhaust sounds like it's rattling. Will this fix my problem or do I have to buy a new set of valves anyway?
This would help with the check engine light but may not solve the rattling sound if it’s a physical issue with the valves
@@zautomotive Yeah I believe the valve is closed my car is very silent .
Will this remove the check engine light?

Hello, I will be buying your product soon. But first I have to fix actuator wiring. Previous owner of my charger completely removed the actuator wiring harness. I believe I found where the harness connects under back seat. But I can’t figure out where the wiring routes thru the body to underneath the car. I’m wondering if you could help me out with my issue. Thanks in advance.

How is this caused juts got a check engine light for this
@@crazykonn1gaming827 I’m unsure of what you mean?
Will this installation change how loud my exhaust is??
Slightly considering it will keep the valves open
does the one box fix the code for a and b side of the exhaust?
Yes
this will get rid of the squeak the exhaust makes yeah?
Not sure of the squeak you're referring to, may want to email support to see if this will fix your problem: support@zautotech.com
Yes, that squeak is the exhaust valve opening and closing (happens to mine) so this will keep the valve open all the time.
Installed a aftermarket exhaust and it throws the P1217 code. Will this delete that check engine light?
Email our support staff for clarification on that please - support@zautotech.com
So are the valves open by default and close when the car is started with the active exhaust functioning?

I drag my hellcat for living. I have my exhaust deleted Only have headers and cat deletes. Will this work to get read of the vavle error code and pypass it?
Yes it will
Does it matter which side the main plug goes on, passenger or driver side ?
I just installed the kit and my valves didn’t stay open
@@zautomotive yes I have, they have a number to text just waiting on a response
@@jasonrico1726 did you get a response from Z I don't want to order and it doesn't do what its suppose to?
@Jason Rico I just did it yesterday and I didn't notice a difference either
any update?
@@GB-vo8xc
Does it matter whether the module goes on the driver or passenger?
no
Why does everyone install the dummy plug on the left when in this video you do the dummy plug on the right?! Am I missing something
It doesn’t matter which side it goes on
Does this get the check engine light to go off for P121B pls reply
Please email our support staff - support@zautotech.com
Looking to buy Borla S Type exhaust system but does not come with Active exhaust. Will this work in conjunction with it since I will not be using active exhaust??
Exactly. This just tells the car the valve is working as requested by the computer. With this kit, the valves don't even need to be there.
@@tallgom awesome after a whole night of research it’s all coming together lol thanks.
th e whole kit comes with all 4 connectors.?
Yes
Sir, I have a 2016 Challenger SXT+. Is this compatible? I do not have any issues with my exhaust but would like a louder and stronger system.
I’m pretty sure the V6 exhaust system doesn’t have any valves. You would have to look into getting different mufflers put in or a whole system.
The V6 3.6l engine sounds garbage with any exhaust modifications. Keep it stock or sell and upgrade to a v8
does this clear check engine light for catless pipes?
More than likely it would not, but if you have exhaust codes U113F (left), U1140 (right), or P121B (performance exhaust valve) it would clear those
No. Cause this only has to do with the active exhaust. To get rid of your MIL for your cats, you need a tuner to deactivate them, OR try putting spark plug non foulers between your O2 sensor and your O2 bung. It’s the cheaper way, but merely a band aid solution
@@antonioV96rear or front?
@@j0hn96 put them on all o2 sensors. Primarily the front, but do all
not working. done it on my Challenger 6.4 2021. installed and throws straight error codes u1140 and u113f. went do a dodge dealership and ask do delete these error codes. first start so far so good, no error. after 2 second start the codes are back again....
@@zautomotive Probably will not help me. Because i live in germany.
Hello happy new year, I just have a question I have the same problem on my 2 thousandand 16 dodge charger Scott pack code u113f Did you figure out where the program was
Happy new year, these things didnt work for me. So i returnd them. i had also the error code u113f bevor i installed them but it didt help. i think there was a issue with the cable on the active exhaust. but didnt let it check because i sold my car already.@@carlosmerlos1894
Waste of money, scam product that did not help me at all
I’m sure you reached out to the support staff for assistance before choosing to post negativity on our page?
Wow now I’m scared if this is trashy product
