ARMYTRIX EXHAUST WIRING INSTALL QUESTION
Just received my armytrix exhaust and i'm trying to figure out how to route the wiring from the engine bay through the firewall to reach the OBD harness under the driver's seat. I see access to push wire through passenger side as there is a large grommet there but i need access to the driver's side. Anyone? driver side engine bay is loaded with little visibility. thanks John

I've got iPE exhaust. Ran wiring from rear of car where solenoid is to inside of trunk and along passenger side to get to footwell where I mounted remote control unit. I had to run one wire from there to driver side to throttle control voltage wire off pedal, but same area as OBD. It was an easy pass from passenger side under dash and behind command to get to pedal harness.
So if you have to enter from engine compartment I'd just go through passenger side grommet and run behind over to OBD port.
They're both valvetronic exhaust systems, not sure why you'd have to go in through engine bay, but if you do that's the route I'd take.

the Armytrix uses the vacuum source under hood to connect to the solenoid valve. From there, the solenoid is attached to the cable that goes to the OBD. Does yours not use the vacuum source under the hood? curious! but thanks for the tip. i guess ill have to go through passenger side then behind dash to driver side. do i need a snake to get it from pass to driver side? Thanks again John

Ah yes, I ran vacuum line from engine all the way to rear of car where I located the solenoid. Then wiring up and inside from there. You may want to do the same to keep short run from solenoid to valve pumps. That's how I was instructed by iPE.
I can't remember whether I needed or not, but a piece of solid copper from some household Romex works perfect for snaking behind there.

what did you do with the stock actuator? im told to hook to stock car plug and "place in waterproof site." im thinking to bolt near plug on the underside. need to get the correct stainless bolt etc.
