Default NPP --- Mild to not-so Wild

I have a 2009, automatic with the NPP exhaust set up.
I want more sound that what the stock system gives me, but pulling the fuse is too much sound and drone. What I need is some kind of device that limits the movement of those muffler vacuum valves so they are not completely open when the fuse is removed. I know there is something out there, but I can't seem to find it. Anybody know where I can find what I'm looking for?

Thanks

Folks have used collars or small hose clamps on the flapper actuator pistons to prevent them from opening all the way.

Down and dirty is to take off the vacuum line to one and keep the other one closed. Instant 50% of excess sound.

This looks like the solution. All I need now is the diameter of the shaft. Any idea what that is ?

That's not a bad idea also!
