Hi everyone, a thought came across me of what implications our vehicles will have if we pull the exhaust valve fuse e.g. if we take it in for service will they see that and such? Curious to hear from everyone

I pulled the fuse on my car and other than it being a bit loud on cold start-ups (but not that loud), it's a no brainer for me. I've also had my car back to the dealer twice for service and they didn't mention it at all. I've seen where it shows on that the fuse is missing on the scan, but it doesn't affect the car negatively in any way.

What do you mean scan, like you used an OBDII scanner and it'll tell you some error code that the fuse is missing?

Yes, I read that you could see that there was a soft error for the missing fuse when using one of the scan tools, so I'm sure it would also show on the dealer's equipment. But it is like saying that there is a bulb missing for the interior trunk light. It's missing, but it is not negatively impacting the performance of the car in any way.

Here's a link to another thread about the exhaust fuse. See post #15
