Active exhaust actuators part number??

32893 Views 47 Replies 9 Participants Last post by  HellaciousFish
I recently purchased a 2015 Challenger Hellcat and the previous owner installed a Flowmaster exhaust, (I don't which type).

Anyways, the previous owner cut the active exhaust actuators completely out, and just left the lines dangling... it's no problem to drive or anything, I just hate seeing this stupid MIL light. Plus I can't remote start my car for longer than 10 seconds before it shuts off because of the light.

When I bought the car I didn't think finding these parts would be this difficult , but it is...

Does anybody in this forum know what the part numbers are for the left and right active exhaust actuators?

I would.loke to purchase a left and a right actuator and then get the AES kit and install it that way.

Any help will be much appreciated

Both should be same part number.
You will need actuator 68230108-AG
And spring 68319331-AA
Hopefully this helps.

Thanks for the quick response!

If the previous owner installed a full cat-back Flowmaster exhaust (as opposed to just splicing in some mufflers), it should have the valve eliminators already on there, so you shouldn't need anything but the actuators/springs. Check pic below to see if yours has something similar.

this is correct, I will need to buy each actuator and the AES kit to get rid of the code.

I will get some pics underneath this weekend, when get some time.

I say this, because my exhaust doesn't quite look like that, it is flowmaster, but I didn't see those brackets...

I will take some pics and post them this weekend.

Do you think then your car may not have been tuned?

That's what I'm guessing at this point...
I'm thinking dyno and tune are in the very near future

Nice !!
That's good you can have it tuned how you would want it.
No guessing.

Flowmaster only has 2 choices for the Challenger HC, basically differing in the mufflers (big cans like in the pic above, or skinny ones), but either should have the brackets that the actuators bolt to and function as a simulator. It allows the actuators to go through their motions/test to avoid throwing a code. Did someone modify the stock system and cut out the stock mufflers and valves and just install some mufflers?
Hope you get it worked out either way!
Hey tac,
Might want to check with a dealer on part numbers just to confirm. Out of curiosity I watched the aes video. In it he stated the actuators have different part numbers. The one I gave you was passenger side. Sorry for the confusion if I caused any.
I only know that number because mine was replaced ( pass side only).

It's hard to take better pics without a lift, but here is what I could get...

I looked up the part numbers and they differ left and right, but you got me headed in the right direction, thank you!

I'm thinking he cut it out, unless im looking in the wrong spot, I posted some pics, let me know what you think

Well it looks like a complete Flowmaster cat-back (has the proper H-pipe) "Outlaw" system (AKA "damn loud"). I double-checked (see the Flowmaster site) and while there are 2 "American Thunder" options and 2 "Outlaw" options, the pics are basically identical (perhaps in error??), however it seems that only one of each type indicates an "active exhaust" provision. If that is the case, and I'm not sure why they would even offer one without the active exhaust solution, then perhaps you have one without it? I can't quite see in your pics if the bracket for the actuator is there or not. They would be past the rear mufflers, just beyond the exhaust hanger, on the outside of each pipe, like in my picture posted previously.
Did they cut the actuators out or just unplug them? Are they tied up somewhere to the underbody (sorry if I am stating the obvious here)?
Otherwise, like you've said, you will need the left/right actuators and AES kit, or alternatively, look into a different cat-back or try and find a local stock take-off exhaust assembly. Sucks either way. :oops:

I stand corrected, I wasn't looking far enough back...

They are both there... just the wires were cut for some weird reason

So this narrows down my problem, I just have to reconnect them, easy peazy!

Oh and yes, these are extremely loud! Every tunnel I hit here in Portland is a deafening roar when I go through!

Ok so here is the problem I am running into now... I found where the wires were cut.

Where do I connect them too?
