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
