Draining the battery shouldn't be your main concern. Wasting your money on something that does absolutely nothing should be.

I just came from one of your other threads, and now see that you just need to slow down and do some research before you start down a needlessly wasteful path.

Scrap the solitary muffler, read about things that actually give you power (ie: NOT the electric supercharger), and build your car from stuff you've chosen, not from what just fell in your lap. Does this mystery muffler have a brand?

EDIT: Oops, the muffler part should have been stated in the other thread.

Understandable. In response to your initial question in the muffler topic, which in hindsight, should have been posted as a second question in this thread: IMO, it's not worth the $40 to have a used generic muffler put on your stock exhaust. Just save up for a good exhaust, and do some good reading while you save. Nix on the Electric Turbo. That is all.
