I recently noticed a burned smell when driving a little bit faster. Today, I found this stuff comming out of my muffler:

I cannot imagine that this material should be in the muffler. However, before removing this stuff and maybe damaging the muffler I come here to ask: Could it be possible that this material is actually meant to be there? Car is a Alfa Romeo Brera 3.2 from 2008.

The material is the fiberglass baffling material from inside the muffler. It is an early indicator that the muffler is failing. The interior metal frame work is rusting away allowing the packing to escape.
