The muffler works by dissipating sound from your exhaust system. It is required in most jurisdictions for the safe and quiet use of a motor vehicle. Based on your question, I am assuming you might be mixing up the parts of the vehicle you are interested in getting.
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.

Rember its a family van. Quiet is better.
