If you will look jsut above the exhaust toward the back of the motor you will see one of the actuators, the other is toward the front. Hold the little leaver open, run a wire tie through and around it pull it tight.....whola! That's all there is to it. Of course you might also want to try one of the other alternatives.

since no one is saying that it makes the car faster to have these wired open i think ill just pay the exhaust guy the extra 5 or 10 bucks hes gonna charge to add the bpressure pick up line

ok guys, im getting ready to do the exhaust in a few days and am trying to decide which diameter to use. id like 3", but this is a dd with no other mods right now. should i go smaller?

dont you mean 1.5 into a 1.5 in/ 5.5 out muff with led tip?
i called the muff shop and the guy is old and has the crappiest hours:
8-5 tues-fri, 8-1 sat. i was gonna try to do it today but i have to work til 1, guess ill try for tues or wed.

Remember that if you use 2 smaller pipes instead of 1 big on you'll have more power as the velocity in the pipes will be much greater, the moving gasses will like suck the gasses that are still in the combustion chamber out..

i went to the place today and apparently its illegal to cut a cat out but he evetually said he would do it for 50 cash and no receipt. he said hed do the whole exhuast from the mani to the muff with 2.25 for 80 so what should i do? should i keep the stock 2in stuff or go with the 2.25? will it make much of a difference to just have it 1/4 inch bigger?
the reason im not gonna do 2.5 is that he says his bender wont do 2.5 well enough to get it around the axle, but he can do 2.25. also, there is/was a presilencer on the exhaust in front of the cat, i say was bc he says its hollowed out and now just acts like a glasspack bc of that. the presilencer is about 4in around in the middle and is about 10 inches long. is there any benefit to having this left on?
another question... the pickup for the actuators is running off of the split air, you guys probably knew that but i was under the impression that it ran off of the exhuast from a split air type line. how do i get this put back on? can he weld the split air pipe onto another spot to have it pick up the backpressure? does this system even run off of bp or does it run from pressure from the air pump? i just need to know how to keep the actuators working the easiest way (without wiring them open)
