That muffler is a "California special".  The twin pipes are for the exhaust gases and the chrome pipe is for oxygen that offsets the evil carbon dioxide that comes out of the other pipes.

Cheers

Not a RWA, though.

I like how it says 100% original interior and then there's that center console and the 'Fairlane GT' badge... And that muffler....what were they thinking.  Otherwise it does look like a really nice example of a Midget.  I don't know enough about Midgets but are those wheels an original option?
