Quick question, hows everyone doing by the way. So im getting hot pipes for the flex with no stock bov holes as im getting aftermarket bov instead that is located in pipe closest to the throttle body. So how do i delete the stock bov without setting off cel? And im afraid the answer is gonna be a tune which i dont know how to do.

Currently I don't believe you can. If the rear BOV is not plugged in you will get a DTC and CEL that will come back immediately if cleared. Most who used AM BOVs in their hotpipes just zip tie that BOV to something under the engine cover to hide it.
Using a TIAL? ... Be sure to get the correct spring.
According to a couple of customers that CEL can be tuned out.
I personally just zip tied the rear BoV connected to the harness to the back of the manifold, can't see it and it is enough so the stock ECU doesn't care.
So i can just keep it attached and hide it? I didnt know that. I thought it would throw a cel if the ecu wasnt reading that they were doing there job (venting) properly because they would never do so if they were just ziptied somewhere.

Yes. The Tial. It comes with the pipes if u add that on. What is the corrent spring it supposed to have?
The BoV comes with the correct spring from my supplier :)
FYI I have two sets of crinkle black and one raw set and then it will be a few weeks before I have them in stock again.
Correct, unplug the front one and leave the rear one plugged in and zip tie it behind the intake plenum and your golden. I haven't had any problems at all.

Awesome!! Sounds good.
Just heard from vendor, next sets of pipes will be here in 2-3 weeks. The sets I have now have stock BoV mounts so I'd have to cut them off and weld in sections. If you order now I'll give you $50 off your set for waiting for the new pipes.
No worries on any codes just follow the above mentioned advice and enjoy the ride. Z (http://i.imgur.com/G7vnUDR.jpg?1)(http://i.imgur.com/YacVFJz.jpg?1)(http://i.imgur.com/vOGQDiq.jpg?1)..Coool. Z 8)
Would be so groovy to have that stuff on my ride, man! If only I had an Ecoboost!
