It is designed like that so it is adjustable for either a beetle or a 
type 3 engine, where the lower muffler pipe spacing is different.  
You can just leave it, but getting a muffler shop to weld it up would 
be better.

One of these came on a car I bought once.  I hated it!  Because of 
the slip connection the whole muffler system just rolled up under the 
car on me once when I backed into a snowbank.  Now that I think about 
it, that one must have had 4 slip connections; I can't imagine why.
