Unhappy Help needed on exhaust.

Hey. I have a '98 supra na with not much done on it except the wheels, intake, injectors and one LOUD exhaust. Recently i have been noticing my exhaust not behaving normal. Last week i noticed a mess of wires on it, and now i can see fibre like white stuff in the muffler. Is there any way i can fix this? Or do i need to get a new muffler? i have added pictures of the exhaust if its of any help. also added pictures of my car.

Wires...no idea. Exhausts have no electrical parts, except perhaps the o2 sensor, or aftermarket EGT/back pressure sensors...

The fluff is likely the damping material of the muffler coming out. Might explain why it's so loud.

What's probably happened is the dampening material has fallen out of the one you've got. This does require a replacement. If there's a warranty you might want to look into that.
