Abstract
A passive valve assembly for a vehicle exhaust system includes an exhaust component that defines an exhaust gas flow path and a vane that is positioned within the exhaust gas flow path. The vane is movable between a fully closed position where a maximum portion of the exhaust gas flow path is blocked by the vane and a fully open position where a minimum portion of the exhaust gas flow path is blocked by the vane. The closed position comprises a start position for the passive valve assembly when there is no exhaust gas flow. The vane is obliquely orientated to a plane that is perpendicular to a centerline of the exhaust component when the vane is in the start position.
