Hi
2000Larson with a 3.0L 3.0gs pwtr 1999-2000 black engine

I am replacing the exhaust bellows. The large rubber hose from the riser elbow to the exhaust pipe.

inside the exhaust pipe is a valve/flap or just something. I dont know what it is. I would think a flapper but it really dosent move much and seems prety burnt up. Location is in pipe #12 between 1-5inches down the pipe from the top Thanks! is the flap/thing replaceable? Any ideas!

It was the exhaust shutter. But Volvo discontinued using them. So nothing goes in there now. Just fill the holes where the pin was.

Should i remove as much as i can? cut out the pin? The pin comes out? remove only the shutter? do you think that i will see any performance gain from removing it or any problems.....its not doing much anyways.
Thanks
