Default Exhaust vacuum tubes, block or not.

So there is tubes that fit to the OEM exhaust to open the valves. In dynamic mode it seems that the valves open up automatically.
Question is if you're fitting an aftermarket system such as Velocityap with no valves and are not utilizing the pipes is it ok to just plug them and tie out of the way. This would leave you not using the active exhaust button. But in dynamic mode would the car be trying to open valves that are no longer their , so would this be an issue as there plugged, should they be left unplugged, would it make a difference. Has anyone fitted such and did you unplug or plug the tubes, maybe Sturt of Velocityap can jump in with an answer.

Stuart would know better, but I am very certain that just plugging those vacuum lines will ensure that everything functions properly after you remove the active exhaust.Why not get the VAP system that includes the valves?
