Default someone plz tell me what this is

Recently installed Megan oe-rs catback exhaust on my 350. No complaints at all, its exactly what I was looking for in style and sound but I do not know what the heck this is in the tips. Ive seen others with this exhaust and they have removed this. Does anyone know how this will affect sound and performance if at all??

exhaust silencer

Does not kill performance, slight sound difference, and kills cabin resonation/noise

It's a silencer - lowers audible drone. Nothing really negative in the power department (thats based on construction)

I'd remove it. You can and if you dont like it, put it back on.

Kills the drone of the car at low rpms I believe, shouldn'd affect performance.
