Default is this a baffle on my exhaust pipe?
I've removed the cat on my 86 944 turbo, and I am wondering if it's safe to remove what looks like a baffle on the wastegate pipe.

what is this part? and what is it for? Will it make my car louder if I remove?

Well, if you think about it, that exhaust is not treated, as it passed the main Cat.. Sooo, we can't let those radioactive toxins into the atmosphere

Yup Cat'. If you look into the pipe from the tail pipe flange, with a flashlight, you'll be able to see the converter core.
