If it is what I think it is its a dump pipe. Itjust dumps the exhaust. JC Whitney sold a mechanical version of this back in the day. While in town or what not you ran it closed. When you wanted to open her up some you would open the dump and have a "free flow" exhaust, no cat, no mufflers no pipes!

 

I think Jason has it right. You can close it up and have the exhaust run just like a normal exhaust. If you open that up, then the exhaust isn't restricted and just dumps straight out...

I've seen those on lots of off-road trucks and rock crawlers...

 

o ok i see... so how much better does it help your car run? and what about sound.... what does it sound like
