how does our stock "electronic" muffler work?
i've tried searching, but haven't found anything,
i'm just wondering how it's connected, electronically, since there's no harness (at least on mine, all i've found are the remains of a ring connector on one of the studs).
after driving that loaner ex i noticed a significant difference in exhaust tone under certain circumstances, but haven't noticed such a change in mine.
or is there no tone change on the older G's? or might my muffler be broken?
thanks for satisfying my curiosity.

The sedan muffler has a valve in it that is operated by exhaust flow. It's not like the same setup used on newer Corvette Z06s and such. A simple test is to start the car and place you're hand near the tips. You'll feel that exhaust is only coming out of one tip. Then have someone increase the rpms and you'll see that exhaust starts coming out of both tips. Lots of Nissan's, BMWs, and Mercedes have these types of mufflers. You're not going to hear a clear change in exhaust noise either. The purpose of the design is to improve low rpm driveability.
