96 challenger exhaust RAVE elimination

[Fordolet46]

Hi there, I have a 96 Challenger single 787. I got it running pretty good but I have a leaking RAVE valve on the muffler. I read somewhere a while ago you can eliminate it but I’m not sure how. I think you cap one of the small lines and put a restriction in the other? Please help!!!

Why would you want to replace it? Just fix it.

You can hard jet the system but this puts a small carburetor jet to let a set amount of water in that is very prone to plugging with any debris in the water. You won’t know it’s plugged until all your exhaust hoses melt.

It’s about $45 in parts to replace the rubber diaphragm and clamp that go bad.

I ordered a used one.

Check the used one too. The most common issue is a hole in the diaphragm and a corroded lower clamp.
