ABSTRACT:
An exhaust bypass valve assembly is provided for a vehicle. The assembly includes a housing (22) defining an inlet passageway (21) and first and second passageways (24, 26) in communication with the inlet passageway and with each other, and a bore (28) at a juncture (25) of the passageways and in communication with the passageways. The inlet passageway is associated with an exhaust manifold, the first passageway is associated with a cooler of a vehicle, and the second passageway is associated with an engine of a vehicle. An exhaust bypass valve cartridge (30) includes a valve member (32) removably disposed in the bore of the housing, and shaft structure (40, 42) associated with the valve member so that rotation of the shaft structure rotates the valve member. The valve member is movable between first and second positions to control the flow of exhaust gas flow from the inlet passageway through the first and second passageways.
