This is actually the stock muffler for single carb cars before '66 (I 
think that's the right date.) it has the rear heat exchangers built 
in, and when installed on the engine it was made for it will connect 
to all the tin and will provide all the heat the car came with from 
the factory.  

The Abarth mufflers I'm familiar with used the OE rear heat 
exchangers so that they also provided stock heat. I had one of them 
many years ago. It seemed to be a very good product, not just cool, 
but also well made, functional, and durable.

Mine had dual tailpipes that exited on the left. Is that what you 
have?
