on your NPP exhaust there is a fuse I would check that first, make sure it's not blown or came loose possibly

If not the fuse, you might have a leak in the vacuum hose that keeps the flaps close.

Exhaust flaps on what? 2008 or later C6 NPP? 2007 or later Z06 Bi Mode? Aftermarket bi-mode by ? installed on 200?? C6?

Vacuum loss someplace but need more info to answer your question.
