Looks like a dog toy to me!!
Are any of those wires actually going into it/is it connected to anything, or could it just be something completely random that's found its way in there?!

I'm sure it's something to do with the suspension as the Allroad's have them in the boot from what I remember. I think it's called an accumulator.

Ahh in that case it does nothing then lol, didn't think the stock s4 exhaust had flaps... Learn something new everyday, but as I have a milltek it does nothing lol
