The original system is seamless and there is not joint between the center and rear mufflers. The replacement parts have a slip on joint and clamp.

On my 1992 300e, I had to cut the pipe with a hacksaw and then the replacement rear muffler fit right onto the cut off pipe. The critical thing is to cut the pipe in the correct location. Before taking the old system apart, measure carefully along the pipe and also hold up the new part and eyeball it. Don't forget to leave a couple inches extra to instert into the new joint, then check again.
Exactly correct. My experience with 1992 300E and and 300TE was just as outlined above.
