Default Exhaust module failure

Just bought my first Corvette 2017 C7 LT2.
Check engine light came on and the exhaust made a noise I would expect from a 1957 Impala. Dealer replaced and 5 miles later it happened again. whats up with this car??

Isn't a whole lot to fail in the exhaust system? A little more detail would be helpful. Do you have NPP - performance exhaust? What did dealer replace? etc. etc. etc.

Probably an AFM noise control valve; they are a problem in track use (one reason the Z06 doesn't have them) but they normally don't fail in regular service. If it is failing due to heat I would suspect a cat on that side is also getting too hot.
