John , the muffler inlet was actually part of the head pipe,it didnt slip over the head pipe. I think they were built this way to speed up assembly on the line , the head pipes were installed on the cars with the mufflers already on the head pipes. I looked but cant find the feature on the 440 -6 Cuda I mentioned earlier that had the exhaust restored this way

And thanks for the answer on how they were originally, I don't think I have ever seen an original unrestored 68 or 69 roadrunner up close. there was supposed to be a 6000 mile original 69 in the town I grew up in , the owner went off to war and didn't return , I've never seen that car surface as far as I know ...
