[T3] Muffler oddity....

Don't know if any T-III mufflers contain inside insulation to keep heat from going into the car...but....a friend's mid 90s Mazda sent out about 6 feet of "hair"....fiberglass insulation streaming right out of the exhaust pipe.   Later...easily 30 or more feet.   Nothing coming out now.  Looked like we ran over a wolf or a witch.


Question is....What's the harm of losing interior muffler insulation?  Just over-warming of the trunk area?    


If this isn't a T-III specific question, it's still pretty interesting.   No mechanics etc that I've talked to have ever heard of such a thing.
