Yes I think the aftermarket exhausts have glass packs and will emit some fiberglass like sparkly powder you will see on your bumper at first. The guidance I read was to rinse it off with a hose and do not wipe it off as the glass may make swirls and micro scratches.

You think the aftermarket Boxster muffler designs are a straight-through, glass-pack style, like this?

Most if not all the 2 box twin tips are of this construction I'm pretty sure and look just like the 'Topspeed'. Most are similarly lightweight and from alibaba.com. I've had 2 exactly the same both 'branded' differently.
