35i vacuum operated butterfly valve on exhaust?

I noticed today that one of the exhaust lines on my 35i has a vacuum operated butterfly valve to open and shut it. Has anyone else noticed that? My vette has the same thing, when it opens around 3500 rpm it provides a less restrictive flowpath through the muffler. I'm wondering if the X3 one does something similar?? I've not read anything in the literature about this feature. Shocking I know!
