It means something is wrong with either the exhaust/actuator. You probably need a new muffler. I say muffler bc the metal valve flap is inside the muffler. The vacuum actuator is just the part that moves the metal exhaust valve. Take it to a dealer and see what they say. Tell them you tested it by crimping off the vacuum line. Sure bet they will fix it.
