Z06 muffler flap actuators
Is there anybody or any vendors selling just the actuators?? I tried a search and it looks like this question was never answered. I also would take a set of Z06 mufflers with the actuators and the muffler mod already done. I have an 07. Thanks

The parts DVD shows that the actuators come with the mufflers and can't be had separately. The mufflers run $1200+ each (apparently the gold leaf was shaken off of my exhaust system on the truck trip from Kentucky 
)
So if your $20 actuator quits working GM expects you to pony up $1200 to replace it. Nice.

The technical term for the part is a vacuum dashpot. They are used all over cars to control AC registers, EGR stuff, exhaust like on the vette, have never looked for a supplier but you might try the Thomas Registry.
