exactly what sam said maybe post pics so we can see it :D

 

There's not much difference with a used muffler.

If it looks to be in decent shape then pick it up. My only concern would be to see if it were rusted. But if it were a stainless steel muffler you should be alright.

Edit - And that thread does have something to do with buying a "used muffler" because your muffler does not have a big effect on the sound, which is what your worried about.

And honestly if your so worried save up the money and purchase a new muffler or exhaust.
