Hey! New around here so I'll attempt to give as much information as possible.
I have a 2022 Dodge Charger R/T and unfortunately, one of the Exhaust Pipe Actuators popped off... I do a LOT of highway driving so I feel like I hit one of Texas' notorious potholes and it finally broke.
Even more unfortunately, it seems like the entire piece was stripped from the wire and the connection is now gone. When it fully broke off, my check engine light turned on and my car has a rattle. The broken side is on the right side of my car and the one that is still intact is on the left pictured below.

I've contacted a Mechanic shop and they referred me to Z Automotives Active Exhaust Delete Kit and told me that would fix my problem (And give her a little more growl which I'm totally for). For reference, the part number is ZAU-ZAESDELETE. So went ahead and bought the part.
I'm scheduled to have the part installed tomorrow and am worried that they're going to turn me away and tell me I need to buy the connection part. For one, I don't know where I'd get that piece from or if exhaust shops would randomly have them on hand (which I doubt).
Would anyone know how I'd be able to obtain that connecter piece? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm just trying to get this taken care of so I can get my registration renewed as it goes out pretty soon.
Thanks for reading and appreciate any help you may have.
