I bought the dummy flap actuator plug that comes with the MPE. I plugged that into the wire, tie wrapped the wire out of the way and covered the open electrical connector on the valve with electrical tape. Done.
Reversible, no error codes, no damage to the connectors and I have a true dual outlet muffler.
Interesting...very. I am sorry; I am not familiar with "MPE." Would you mind sharing the source of the components you used to do this?

Thanks.
