Default Whats that plate between the exhaust?

I noticed on some vettes that there is an emblem in the rear that’s between the exhaust tips. Whats that called exactly? Exhaust plate? I want one & wasn’t sure if I was using the correct term I just guessed on it.

Most places call them an "Exhaust Enhancement Plate" or Exhaust plate for short. They run from about $45.00 up to almost $100.

This one was already on my car when I bought it, I don't think I would have spent the $100+ for one, but it looks pretty good.

I like it...was just doing 3 things at once over here. Is it carbon fiber? The photo is kind of lacking. A more clear picture would probably help.

The material is stainless steel mesh, is actually 5 separate pieces,as you can see with this photo, not as garish as the 1st photo,and definitely different.
