the glassfibre is part of the make up of your silencer,if its coming out it means the exhaust or part of it is failing,time for a new one I`m afraid !

That can sometimes happen to cheap exhaust silencers , it will not effect the running of the car although it might be a little noisier

It is ( i guarantee ) your cat converter for the following reason`s .
The same thing happened to my car . And
There was a similar question on here last week and the best answer picked was ,the person who said it was the cat converter .
Mine cost around £100 to replace .

you need a new back box.. its the sound muffling wadding thats falling out...and there will be a split or hole, you just can't see it.
your car may rev a little more freely, and sound a bit more throaty... but your MPG will fall thru the floor... get a new one.

Does it have a glass pack? If not, more than likely catalytic convertor.

your exhaust system seems already bad, it requires repair or replace, you can't see it coz it's inside the mufler system.
