Errors after Akrapovic Slip-on Exhaust Install

So here's an update: the dealer told me 5 hours of labor to take off the bumper and see if the actuators were installed correctly or GTFO. No ifs and or buts about it. I was charged $300 for a diagnostic (after even telling them what the issue was) for them to repeat what I told them. But they said if I rectified the issue myself, they would calibrate it for 30 minutes of labor... $130. I am NOT paying this fee, and my original dealer, Porsche West Palm will take care of it for free.
@eagle1960 basically gave me the answer; I need to lift the car and ensure the orientation is on the open position...
Shot an email @SupremePower to double confirm so that I do this in one shot.

My tire shop was doing some other work on the car. I thought the code was for a gas cap that I did not tighten enough. I asked them to read it and clear it. Instead they found that it was a fault code for the exhaust actuator shorted or incorrect signal. This was a week after I had the Soul exhaust installed. After they cleared the fault code it never came back. It has been several months now with no return of the fault code. Exhaust seems to work fine.

thank you for the input Sir.
the dealer cleared the code for me but came back next day then disappeared now. But they said even tho engine light was not on, the faulty was still there. It would come back intermediately. They claimed the exhaust was imperfection welding. The flap wouldn’t fully open since the error code. Overall, it’s a harmless issue.

We have had success. Re-learning has worked every time for us on Akra.

Please see this post in the JCR Group Buy thread with an explanation by @JCR-Porsche about what some of us saw with the valves on the JCR exhaust. Seems like this might start being a more common issue if the tolerances of the valve motor "fingers" aren't as strict.
