<grin> Shows what happens when I haven't had my morning Dr Pepper (don't
drink coffee-yuck!) <grin>

I looked at a Dansk 2.1 and while both flanges are braced, the flange on the
end of the longer pipe goes to the catalytic converter.  The Ernst on a
customer's 90 Van that was just here picking up parts is the same way.  So I
imagine the Ansa would be configured similarly.  And like I said before, the
tailpipe flange is more rounded than the opposite end.
