I have a local Type 4 customer who has taught me a bit about Type 4 
mufflers. It turns out that the fastback and squareback Type 4s got different 
mufflers: One exits out the right side of the car and the other exits out the 
left. I can never remember which was which. The exit point from the muffler 
was originally from the middle of the muffler in both cases, so the mufflers 
were different, with that central exit pointing one way or the other, and the 
damper pipes were different.  

Later versions, and maybe those were for buses as you say, exit out the 
right end of the muffler and exit the car on the right as a simple flange and 
elbow with no damper.

I've never seen one that exited the left end of the muffler. Does that version 
exist? I recall that John's exited on Sophy's left, nicely in the OE Type 3 
location, but I don't remember how it exited the muffler.
