You may just have the late version that was originally supplied in 72-3. It 
fits earlier cars if you use both the muffler and the tailpipe. This late 
tailpipe is in a single piece.

If it looks like it is official, then that's what it probably is. If it looks 
like it is just a piece of pipe, bent up to fit, then a muffler shop can 
probably make you another one just like it.

In the meantime, watch the swap meets for good type 3 mufflers.
