Default Different mufflers in 4GS F Sports?

So today I installed the some stock mufflers that came off a 2014 F Sport. I removed my Invidia axleback. Got tired of the drone.
My GS is a 2013 F Sport RWD.
Here are the 2014 mufflers:

They have that bushing/bracket in the back of the mufflers.

My 2013 muffler doesn't have that bushing:

Here's the stamp on my 2013 muffler:

And this is the 2014:

Does anybody know what that bushing is for? The 2014 mufflers fit without any issues.

Do those mufflers give u a rumble when idling? My new RC has that deep rumble at idle and it's noticeably louder when cold and I like it!

I don't remember my old GS sounded anything like this, it was just quiet all around.

Haha I didn't notice any rumble going back to stock mufflers after the Invidia's. I wanted quiet now.

Those weights are vibration damper's. Had the same things on all my old BMW's.
