It leads to a chambed that's a helmholtz resonator (like the little stubby tube on the stock exhaust.) It damps certain frequencies of sound without restricting airflow.

you can tape it off or you can use a piece of the dividing wall after you remove it with a dremel tool

If we told you it wouldn't be much of a secret, now would it?
