A vehicle exhaust assembly for modifying a sound of the vehicle exhaust includes a housing that is operationally coupled to a vehicle exhaust pipe on a vehicle. The vehicle exhaust is directed into the housing. A baffle is coupled to the housing. A flow of the vehicle exhaust passes over the baffle. The baffle has a plurality of exhaust apertures extending therethrough. The flow of the vehicle exhaust passes through the plurality of exhaust apertures. The plurality of exhaust apertures alters a resonant frequency of the flow of the vehicle exhaust. An audible sound of the flow vehicle exhaust is modified. A knob is operationally coupled to the housing. The knob is operationally coupled to the baffle so the knob moves the baffle. A user selectively moves the knob so baffle is positioned at a selected angle with respect to the flow of the vehicle exhaust. The audible sound of the flow of the vehicle sound is adjusted between a minimum and a maximum resonant frequency.
