Default Not really under the hood, more like under the car

I had my car on the lift today and I noticed that the piping leading to the exhaust, somewhere in the middle part of the car to the right, there was this little pipe sticking out. Maybe about 5-7 inches. Its kinda hard to explain. But right before the piping goes to the duals, when its single.. there is a piece of pipe sticking out towards the left side of the car, does anyone know what that is for? I was just curious. Maybe it isnt anything. Thanks

It's to help the tuning of the exhaust note. Every stock exhaust has it.

It's a resonator. Used to tune the exhaust - controls "droning" at certain RPM's.
