Found a small part in my exhaust tip?

Hi y'all. I was polishing my exhaust tips on my 2020 R, and I noticed this small clip inside the passenger side exhaust? Anyone know where this may have come from?

Maybe some debris that the rear tires kicked up into it?

Maybe a pice from the active exhaust valve?

Nevermind , now that i think about it i don't think this is part of the active exhaust valve.
The mechanism is inside an enclosed box with only the flap going thru the actual exhaust tip.

Looks like road debris to me. I get rocks and pebbles in mine all the time, so it's just one more form of trash.

I'm impressed that it made it all the way through the exhaust system... it is part of the mounting bracket for the piston return spring.

Really.... really.... do I really need one here?

Weird. I guess anything is possible, but it is not an area of high suction if any suction at all once throttle is let off. Just wanted to make sure everything looking good. For the record, I only have 2000 miles in 14 months of ownership. No issues to report, so I will keep on driving when the snow melts and salted roads are washed off!

As others pointed, it's debris from the road got in the exhaust tail pipe. I have some rocks in my.

In school - we had a pile of old valves and we would put them in our classmates exhaust pipes so when they fired their cars up, they would plop out onto the ground.

The nice shiny exhaust pipes on a GT350 are just trim rings that are open at the front where the real exhaust pipes are. This design allows air to flow through and around the exhaust stream to keep the plastic rings from melting. Occasionally, pebbles or other trash can get through the gap and they end up sitting in the bottom of the outer trim rings.
