exhaust question
I recently bought a 1978 with only 30,000 miles. It had been in a garage for years. I discovered the tires were over 25 years old, despite looking very new, I had a blowout on the highway. Had all four tires replaced along with new brakes. Here is what happened yesterday. My exhaust pipes broke off while driving. I was able to retrieve them and they were very rusty. Now I have to get them replaced. Here is what I noticed, however, and I hope this is not a stupid question, Is it possible my 78 didn't have mufflers? I have a couple of photos under the car before the pipes broke off and didn't see anything, but it looks as if the tail pipes were wielded directly to the exhaust. I'm new at all of this so please be patient with me. Thank you.
