i thought it was just a piece of steel welded over the actual exhaust pipe to give a different sound (deeper) then with out it.

Well... what do you think a muffler does? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin :D" data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /><br />

But no, it's not just a piece of steel welded over the pipe. It's a separate component that is specifically designed to change the sound of the exhaust. Not necessarily a deeper tone, just a different sound. Usually to smooth out something or another that some focus group decided didn't sound good.</div>
