I think its fairly safe to say you only need one muffler. The rear muffler on 
my '81 300TD fell off. I wired the pipe up and we drove it with just the 
resonator for 4-5 months until I got rid of it. The car was not noticably 
noisier. The only downside was that with the sunroof open you'd smell diesel 
exhaust.

I think Gump is getting noisy.  May have a hole in the exhaust pipe 
some place to go with a clapped out muffler.  Crawled under and there 
is only the rear muffler, not the front one the parts book shows.  Is 
there a need for a front muffler on a 72 220D?

What is the point of them if they're designed not to be used? Or perhaps th=
e
question is what are the parameters for them to be activated?
