Question for those w/Aftermarket Exhaust & Fuse 22

I have a quick question for those of you that have installed an aftermaket exhaust on your car. I recently installed an RSC Tuning exhaust and re-inserted my fuse 22. In addition, I plugged and zip-tied the vacuum lines which went to the OE exhaust actuator so no debris can get in the line which is not being used.

Is it advisable to keep fuse 22 in and plug the old vacuum lines with an aftermarket exhaust?

TIA,
Adam

BTW, I posted a full write-up of my impressions with the RSC exhaust.

Michael 996TT is infamous around these parts
Keep Fuse 22 plugged in ... or back in if removed (w/ new RSC exhaust installed).
By plug the old vacuum lines I will assume you mean "close off" as there is no place to "plug into" the RSC exhaust ... so yes "close off" lines and tie wrap out of the way ... the lines do not need to be "air tight" when closed off ... more a dirt thing.

Cool. Thanks for the reply. I did exactly as you described above.
