Friends, thank you in advance for your help. I bought a 2016 Challenger Hellcat yesterday. 16,000 miles. When I got home from dealership (3 hour drive), the check engine light came on. Took immediately to local dealer. Found that prior owner installed an awesome Borla system, but it is causing multiple error codes to trip. A few questions: 1) is there any easy fix? 2) does this harm my extended warranty in any way? Dealer says they will pay to switch out the exhaust back to original since they did not disclose. I love the sound but have concerns over passing inspection if the check engine light stays on. I live in Raleigh, NC. Very grateful for any advice.

I don't see why a catback system would throw a check engine light. Running no cats or headers on the other hand would.

Dude. WHAT ARE THE CODES?
It's like going into a doctors office and saying it hurts when I do this.
But NOT DOING ANYTHING.
Also apparently you answered your own second question. If they're willing to replace the exhaust then apparently the answers is NO it won't effect your warranty.
Jesus Christ. I'm done with the internet for today.

Ahhh that makes sense. The exhaust doesn't have the active exhaust valves. You can either go stock or get simulators that get trick the ecu. The exhaust will not affect your warranty since it's a catback system and they would have to prove that exhaust casued whatever warranty issue you are having at that time.

Yes, just buy a set of the simulators from speedlogix.

Do not buy anything from a 2 poster!
Likely a scam.

That’s fair enough....however, I have been on Challengertalk for many years. I just joined as I traded my 12 392 M6 for a 16 M6 Hellcat. I will be pretty active on here. I am also on the Hellcat Facebook forums and you could find me there.

Is there not a mode in which we can set the engine where the flappers are wide open all the time?

They are open in track mode I believe but if they have been disconnected they will throw a code

 

[Himmelkat]

So, why not just leave the engine in track mode? Or does it affect traction and stability settings, also?

every time the car starts it will cycle the exhaust valves if they are not connected it will throw a code. getting the simulators will work but I would have the dealer get and install a new factory exhaust.
