The thing to do is to just USE the muffler and upper heat exchangers 
together, until the muffler rusts out. After that, you can cut off the muffler 
without guilt. I've never succeeded in separating the 2 items without cutting 
the muffler.  

I actually do this a LOT. I've bought quite a few mufflers with small HEs 
attached. I just use them that way. My current muffler is one of these.

I have most of these parts, but you should see if you can just buy a muffler 
kit first. It will contain many if the items you need.
