You can drive a car without a muffler, but you should not. It is illegal. Driving without a muffler allows many pollutants into the air.
Technically yes, a car can be driven without a muffler but there are a few good reasons not to do so. The most important risk of not having a muffler is that there are laws regarding sound levels and a car without a muffler might be over government approved noise levels resulting in not being in compliance with the law and the end result being a fine. Another reason for not doing so is the impact it would have on your vehicle. A muffler on a car will increase its performance, efficiency and power output. It will also decrease the wear and tear on the engines’ parts.

Depends mostly on the conditions you drive in and where you park the car. Harsh winter conditions with snow and salted roads will reduce the life of many parts including the muffler.

Do you need a new muffler'How can you tell if you need a new muffler?
Even if you can't repair a faulty muffler yourself you can determine if the muffler is actually the problem. One of the first signs of a failing muffler is a change in the sound of your car when it starts and while it is running. The car will sound louder but you might not notice at first. If the muffler is not repaired the sound will definitely get louder and louder. In most towns sound pollution is an offense for which you will be written a ticket. That's only one reason to make sure your muffler gets fixed, and soon.
