Replacing the exhaust system shouldn't be a problem, but anyone looking to just stop the valve from closing may have a problem

Disclaimer: I know NOTHING about this stuff. Only trying to reiterate what I read on another post. People with more knowledge, feel free to chime in.
That's why I'm leaving mine as is: it's not a problem to me, and the golf tee remedy will not be employed.
