It looks like a spot where you can mount something on the exhaust tip.
I've sent the details (serial number, etc.) of my exhaust to Tanabe to ask if they have any information on it.

Whilst I'm busy with it, I've taken some photos of the exhaust system as a whole. The exhaust is an over-axle design and, except for the stainless mufflers, appears to be mild steel:


The exhaust system appears to be in a very good condition and I didn't see a whole lot of rust on it.

my HKS hi power looks the same way, I bet they use nicely shining, and corrosion resistant sus 304 for the muffler itself and then a lower grade stainless (which stains less, not 0) like sus 416 for the piping.

I received a reply from Tanabe. According to them, the Hyper Medalion should stay within 103dB at 4950rpm.
I'll order the Fujitsubo Legalis R W-tail has been ordered and I'll make a comparison video.

Jappower. I probably could have gotten it somewhere else cheaper (e.g. RHD Japan) but then probably the import duties would make it just as expensive.
