So I just acquired a CL55 for peanuts but not without a couple of issues.

The one I'm enquiring about relates to the single version tailpipe end pieces each side (2154900027) which later changed to a duel each side. I'm Screenshot_20200227-094818_eBay.jpg Screenshot_20200227-200754_Gallery.jpg wondering exactly how these connect to the main exhaust section? I know there is a bevelled collar and was wondering if these are normally welded in place? Or other method.
It's a strange old set up I am not used to seeing. I presume a previous owner lost one and removed the other which was in the boot. I've bought a new 2nd end piece and want info on how to approach restoring them to the car.

Appreciate any help with this.

P.s I also have a similar end piece (A2154900327) likely bought in error available should anyone need one please enquire.

FYI the later Kompressor models had the quad pipes.
 
So I had a new end piece arrive which explained how these hold together. The main exhaust and end pieces are joined using the bevelled insert and are held in place using a bevelled clamp (not a U-clamp) Screenshot_20200229-173659_Gallery.jpg
