Did you disconnect the cable in the trunk or use the "ball bearing method" by plugging up the hose connected to the left tailpipe?

ball bearing method, I heard read that the cable in the trunk sets off codes, that the dealer can pick up. However, does not show up as a fault on the dash.

the cable mod can set off unknown alarms at the dealer??

Wouldn't it be easier to do the ball bearing on the trunk side of the tube so you don't have to get under the car - or just simply pinch the hose with some sort of a medical tubing valve?

It's a nice mod, either the golf tee or removing the plug. Either way, it's a good idea to lube the flap mechanism once in a while as it's not exercised with the vacuum pump disabled.

nice
wait...so does the flap open when the cats get hot
or when u speed up?

I believe you have gotten it mixed up. the "ball bearing" method is plugging up the tube UNDER the car. therefore your post makes no sense.

im still trying to decide which method to use. I dont want to get under my car (will i fit under there with out a jack?) but the post explaining the unplugging has people saying they have had other issues.

Why does it matter which end of the tube is plugged?

Definitely, the mechanism is really easy to reach and so is the unplugging and plugging procedures. I would prefer going under the car so the dealer will not hassle you about it.
