Half true, I suppose. Fake, but gas goes through it, hence the loudness:

Yeah I guess it's not really a muffler, but it is not just for looks, it is functional.

Right muffler has less sound dampening material than the other. Exhaust air flows more freely to that one, hence it gets dirty faster than the other.
