Weird piece on my exhaust piping?

Me Spec V guy,

I went to a muffler shop and had the guy look at the set up of my car and he told me that there is something that he has never seen before in the piping.

From the manifold, you go a little ways and then the piping gets bigger (maybe 3 inches) for about 6-8 inches, then goes back down to 2 inches.
Then it goes to the built in resonator, then back to pipe, then hits the muffler.

What the heck is this first 6 inch long expanded pipe piece for?

Yes and no on the legality of it....
But yes you can remove it but just don't let your inspection see that you did cause then they'll probably fail your car on the visual......

We don't have inspections on our vehicle's anymore.
I am in Arkansas, and I have no idea why they stopped inspections.

Now there is still debate on what that piece is. It could possibly a heat expansion unit, from a discussion from another board.
