Default GS muffler same as Z06 or Stingray?

I'm looking to order an Akra axle back system for my 2019 GS. Is the muffler on the GS the same as the Z06 or the Stingray? In other words, is it supposed to have the extra valve in front of the muffler or not? Thanks!

Sean everyone I’ve met on track with a grand sport is melting those actuators for the AFM, I would get the z06 version and tune out the AFM code.

What's crazy is I ordered the Akra with the extra valve but I don't see it on the stock mufflers. Also, the 2019 M7 GS muffler part number is the same as the 2017 Z06 Z07 muffler part number. I'm so confused!

I think the later cars ALL had those those valves deleted if they had the M7.

Yes, it happened for all Z51/52 cars starting 2017. (Z06 never had it).

Correct, my 2019 M7 GS does not have AFM. The above is correct.
