Default MBRP Cat Back

Recently had MBRP 3" Cat Bach system install. 2 days after install spit code P12EA and P12FF. Have to put some type of jumper to make Vette think AFM still hooked up. Do not have factory performance exhaust just AFM. With the jumpers will I need the boxes off the 2 tubes when I take to dealer to install? 2020 C8 LT3 HTC

You need simulators not a jumper. Several vendors sell them just search C8 Corvette exhaust simulator

Yep. Paragon simulators are all you need. C8 Corvette AFM & NPP Valve Simulators | Paragon Performance I had the same issue when I put on my MRBP. All I did was climb under the car, plug in simulators, ziptie to bracket, and call it a day. Took all of 10 min. I did get a CEL after the simulators. It was weird. The light would come and go for the first month or so. It was like the car was relearning. Someone mentioned it was thinking they were closed when open, etc. Eventuually went away. I have not seen light in at least 10 months.
