Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning Exhaust Control Valve Bracket is the purpose-built hardware solution that lets 2014-2019 Chevrolet Corvette owners run a full AWE Cat-back Exhaust without triggering a Check Engine Light. When you upgrade to an AWE exhaust, your factory Active Fuel Management (AFM) valve motors need a new home—and this bracket, also known as the AWE AFM Valve Simulator, gives them exactly that. It keeps the AFM valve motors electrically connected and mechanically secured so your car’s ECU stays happy after the swap.
How It Works
Installation is refreshingly straightforward. Simply remove the AFM valve motors from your factory exhaust, bolt them onto the AWE AFM Valve Simulator plate using the factory valve motor hardware, and secure the assembly safely to the vehicle. Once mounted, the AFM valve motors retain their factory operation, so the ECU reads normal function and never throws a CEL. The simulators come as a set of two to cover both motors, giving you a complete, balanced solution for your Corvette.
Crafted from durable T304L stainless steel, the bracket is engineered to withstand the heat and vibration of the exhaust environment while providing a rock-solid mounting point for your factory AFM hardware. Because no tune is required, you get a clean, plug-and-play upgrade path that preserves your factory calibration.
