Abstract
A valve assembly for a vehicle exhaust system includes at least one pipe enclosing an exhaust gas flow path, the pipe defining a central axis, and at least one flexible flap positioned within the exhaust gas flowpath. The at least one flexible flap has one fixed edge held fixed to the pipe and extends to a distal edge that is free to bend in response to an increase in exhaust gas flow pressure to provide a variable restriction to flow through the pipe that varies in response to a pressure difference upstream and downstream of the at least one flexible flap.
