DO they make a cable for the fbody so you can delete the traction control crap under the hood?

I bought the non-asr, non-cruise cable and deleted all that ****. Looks so much better with one cable running from your foot to the butterfly.

OK this thing is like 1 ft to long WTF?? It's 51 inches long and needs to be like 37 . Am I supposed to make a loops or something? This is crazy long like it belongs to a truck or something? Called SD and verified the correct part numbers.

When you deleted all of it did you remove the box up inside the bumper cover in front of the DS front wheel? I'm making the swap to a Super Vic and Accufab and just running a short cable from pedal to TB and getting ready to do the same DELETE EVERYTHING I DON'T NEED OR WANT!! Lol

You may also want to do a search for a Mr.Gasket DIY kit. I bought mine from a member on YB so it was already ready to go, but it might be worth a search

I'll see if I can dig some info up on it for ya
