Abstract

A vehicle exhaust system includes a first exhaust gas path and a second exhaust gas path. At least one valve is positioned within the first exhaust gas path and an active noise control system is associated with the second exhaust gas path. An example method includes, providing the first exhaust gas path with a first tailpipe having a first outlet and the second exhaust gas path with a second tailpipe having a second outlet separate from the first outlet. The valve and the active noise control system are controlled simultaneously to control noise generated by the vehicle exhaust system.
