I used a piece of stick to yank the flap open and hold it open while installing zip tie. When flap is in open position, actuator arm will be in retracted position where you can loop zip tie around the link from actuator to the flap to keep it open. If you have trouble with zip tie which I did, then you can use some sort of steel wire instead. It would be easier with steel wire because you can easily bend it and it holds shape. Zip tie keeps swinging back even after I pre-bend it.
Jacking the car up helped, I just have pretty big hands haha.
It sounded meaaannn on the cold start, and now at normal cruising it sounds a little louder with the same tone of stock, however it screams when you pass 3-3.5k+

Thanks
