Default Corsa Xtreme Axle Back

I am looking to upgrade to the Corsa Xtreme Axle Back. I don't want to cut my stock exhaust pipes over the Axle, so I am looking at the 14766 that has the pipes in the kit. I have an A8 with the valves. A) What can I do to the pigtails to the actuators since they won't be attached and B) Will it throw a Check Engine Light?
Thank in advance for everyone's help.

You can remove the actuators from the valves, plug them in to the harness and zip tie them out of the way. No more cel

perfect. As long as the actuator moves the computer has no way of knowing the valves aren’t hooked up. Corsa gave uou a mounting point for the actuatorsso you won’t need to zip tie them. Cleaner install
