Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning Exhaust Control Valve Bracket is a purpose-built solution for owners of the 2018-2023 Ford Mustang GT Coupe equipped with the 5.0 V8 and rear-wheel drive. If your car left the factory with the Active Valve Performance Exhaust, this bolt-on bracket gives your factory-issued valve actuators a proper home once your new exhaust system is installed — keeping your GT’s ECU happy and your operation completely CEL-free.
Machined and formed from T304L stainless steel, this bracket is engineered to hold up to the heat, vibration, and long-term demands of life beneath a performance Mustang. It’s an attractive, convenient piece that looks the part while solving a very real need for drivers who opted for the Active Valve setup from the factory.
Why You Need It
When you upgrade your exhaust, the factory valve actuators still need to remain equipped so the ECU continues to read them correctly. Without a dedicated mounting point, those actuators have nowhere to live — and that’s exactly the problem this bracket solves. AWE Tuning designed it to keep the factory hardware in place, ensuring smooth, CEL-free performance without any tuning required.

Fitment
This bracket is engineered specifically for the 2018-2023 Ford Mustang GT Coupe with the 5.0 engine and rear-wheel drive, and is intended for cars originally equipped with the factory Active Valve Performance Exhaust. If that describes your Mustang, this is the piece that lets you retain those factory valve actuators after your exhaust upgrade.
Compliance
Carrying a voluntary 50-State Legal label, the AWE Tuning Exhaust Control Valve Bracket is designed to integrate seamlessly with your Mustang’s factory Active Valve system while maintaining CEL-free operation. It’s a simple, well-made component that reflects AWE Tuning’s attention to detail — solving a specific need with a clean, engineered answer rather than a workaround.
