What is this? Pipe Filter?

It seems like this is a plastic piece, not balsa wood. Is it just a space holder? Any reason to leave it in versus taking it out?

Savanellis come with a spacer to take the place of the filter if you don't want to use one. I have tried them and don't see the point. I have four Savanellis and don't have any idea where my plastic spacers are for any of them. I just smoke them without the filter.
