Re 20V avant muffler

[Mike Del Tergo]

Bernie,
you may have hit the difference on the head.  The avant rear section is 
connected to the rest of the system via "traditional" exhaust sytem sleeves 
connecting the pipes.  The Bentley for the V8 shows a very similar rear 
muffler, 2 in, 2 out but it also shows having to cut the rear off for R&R 
where the 20V avant simply unplugs. time to see the Bentley for the 20v 
sedan.  It may very well be the same with simply shorter renners between the 
mid and rear mufflers.
