Mostly sure these are original. A tailpipe broke off one of these, maybe 15 years ago. The guy who welded a new one on said the pipe on the muffler had worn thin. I think that was the message, anyway. Multiple choice

:

A. Throw them away with the pipes.

B. Save the mufflers because?

C. Save the mufflers just to have them, knowing they'll never be used and storage is at a premium.

Curious what's loose in the mufflers. Seems similar a ball valve, but I'm probably way off.
