Depends on what is wrong. Hole in the muffler or converter then NO, do not drive this vehicle as there is a danger of carbon monoxide entering the cabin and causing you to go to sleep and have an accident. It has no smell, or taste so you will not know it is present.

Clogged converter is also a no, no. This will cause engine damage. Bottom line is get it repaired whatever the problem.

Is there something wrong with your car muffler' you got these noisy annoying squeaks?

If your car knocks, grinds, squeaks and makes other unholy noises, it may have a bad muffler. A muffler is basically a series of tubes and chambers located under the car at its back end. Mufflers quiet the noise made by the engine and reduce noxious emissions. If your car's muffler isn't working, you're polluting the atmosphere with fumes and unpleasant noise every time you go for a drive.
