Gt haus exhaust

What is the purpose of the vertical piece set back in the tips? Does it help to give its distinctive sound, like a reed in a wind instrument?

Had this same question asked on the GTR forum.

it's to accelerate the exhaust gasses out the tips, physically. However with that size and distance from the manifold, it's more of a gimmick than anything. Distinct appearance, for sure. But unsure of its actual effectiveness.
