When you replace the stock vacuum actuated damper mufflers with an aftermarket? Is it as simple as inserting a golf tee and stuffing the rubber tube out of the way?

Thanks

Yes. Would maybe add some tape to make sure the tee can't fall out and possibly use a tie strap to make sure it stays out of the way.

i dont remember having to do anything. the valve is attached to the stock muffler, so when you take that off, you're good to go.
in any case, a good exhaust shop will know what the standard procedure is.
