Its there to ground the exhaust but it's not important to replace. That's what we mean.

I've heard of these before, but do our exhausts actually have a ground that attaches to it? I don't remember one when I changed mine.

no it's just wire that is bolted to the bottom of the car and is around the muffler pipe
There's also a ground on the Stillen aftermarket exhaust, which I attached to the same place the OEM ground goes.
There should be a bolt hole on the frame of the car that the ground strap should reach. If your old bolt is gone, just get a new one that will fit. The idea is to keep the metal frame and the metal exhaust physically connected, so they are the same electrical potential.
Like JBaker said - it's not necessary to use, but if you have it you might as well use it.
