As far as modifying it you might be able to do an exhaust cutout and then do a y pipe off of their to control it with the stock valve. If you have a Jb4 you can control the valve opening/closing. Seems like a lot of work tho IMO.
Are there known issues of always leaving the valve opened, say during cold weather? All I have read is it will introduce a little bit drone on low RPM range.
