Thanks for the ideas and replies above, they were useful
When the dealer actually showed me the location on the exhaust that he had described on the phone, it was a little different (see pics)

I decided to take the car back minus filter, but it is now very loud. Too loud in fact.
Someone suggested to me that this filter might be an exhaust “cone”, for optimising back pressure and/ or sound
Does anyone have a picture of the exhaust from the same angle with the cone in place? Or better still a parts diagram for the sports exhaust that might show what this is, and what to order to replace it?
Sorry for the deviation from the orginal topic. But it did start out with plug wires
