The better question is why would you install a muffler that is rusted? In my experience exhaust installation is a job that I don't want to repeat often, and once a muffler has started to rust it will go quickly! If it is only a little surface rust, then take a wire brush to it and it should be fine. Your bigger concern will be getting a pipe clamp to go on or getting the pipe to go in or over the inlet and outlet as they are usually misshapen by the original pipe clamp. My recommendation would be to get a new muffler, they are less expensive than you might think! You can go on www.partsamerica.com and check out prices before you go to the store. You can buy the parts there, I do sometimes and you can get free shipping, usually I buy at my local store, but I always use it when trying to determine how much a part will cost and they provide pricing for high end to low end you you can make and informed decision. Good Luck

A hole in a muffler is from two causes. It has either rusted through or been damaged by something hitting it.
You have exhaust leak where the pipe rusted through and this makes the loud noise. You can go to a parts store and get a exhaust repair kit to fix the hole. This is only a temporary fix and might not be enough to fix the repair. Otherwise, you have to go to a muffler shop so they can replace the rusted section.
muffler, what direction do you install arrow A and B ?The A - B are direction of flow for the exhaust. If this is an aftermarket muffler. The muffler should be installed with the "A" towards the engine, and the "B" towards the rear of the vehicle.Read more: http://www.justanswer.com/questions/2d71s-replacing-muffler-jeep-wrangler#ixzz0VkBeD0MI
