Just performed this mod. Ran the wires all the way up to front trim with a lighted LED switch. Works great. The valve normally closes at about 1500-3000RPM normally. It makes a pretty significant difference when the switch is off and the valve is left open in this range. I prefer it to be as loud as possible. But it'll be nice if I'm on the freeway and want it a little more quiet. Thanks for posting the DIY.

This is for exhaust, what fuse do we pull to get the high octane back?

You could get the switch we use for cup lights, I did not have dealer do the cup holder lights, I did it myself.

Back in the late 60s we all drag racers wanted quiet cars so we could hear the ping of the headers. I would rather hear the whine of the suppercharger.

if I ever have to have my console out I am just putting a switch it. I did not want a switch in my trunk as the truck monkey would most likely play with it. For some reason I was feeling lazy and did not want to pull stuff up.

I have not traced out the whole circuit but if 12v closes the flaps you just want to tap in at that point with 12v and then maybe throw a diode in so you don't feed voltage back upsteam.
I have the directions for installing cup lights, it says how to remove console.

I know lots of people have pulled the fuse or inserted a switch in-line with fuse. Works fine, but ...

Just exactly where is the vacuum solenoid valve that controls the vacuum to the exhaust bypass valves. The solenoid valve would have a two-pin connector on it. This is, of course, the valve that is controlled by the fuse.

Thanks,

Steve

I pulled my 10 amp fuse in the trunk, no drone at all, sounds like a performance car should sound all the time from 0-168 mph..
