2005 RL Exhaust

Does anyone know if there is an easy way to keep the "butterfly valve" on the exhaust system always open?

On the Corvette they have an aftermarket switch or you can just pull the fuse and the exhaust remains open.

Thanks for your help.

Welcome to AZ! I am unaware of anyone trying this with the stock exhaust...or at least trying it and then posting here about it.

no, it seems by looking at the part schematics that it is a flow activated valve. The reason it is there is to keep backpressure at the low end to improve low end torque. So if you do open it, your car will be slower...
