Abstract
A passive valve assembly for an exhaust component includes a vane that is positioned within an exhaust gas flow path. The vane is pivoted from a closed position to an open position in response to exhaust gas flow overcoming a biasing force. A stop is positioned within the exhaust component and cooperates with the vane to define a closed position for the vane.
