So these dampers are some kind of weight that's bolted to the exhaust pipe?

I can't tell how they function from looking at the service manual diagram. I thought they were some kind of device that actually was inserted into the exhaust pipe and had a controlling device external to the pipes.

Thanks for the info. though!
