Driving without a muffler can lead to several issues, primarily increased noise and potential legal problems due to noise regulations. It can also affect engine performance, as the exhaust system is designed to manage back pressure. Over time, running without a muffler may result in damage to other components, such as the exhaust manifold and oxygen sensors, due to the excessive heat and vibrations. Therefore, it's advisable to replace a damaged muffler promptly.

Muffler problem do i get any ticket if their is a problem with Muffler?

You may if the noise level is too high. But that is the least of your worries. A defective muffler may cause your death or at the very least an accident. A muffler with a break or hole in it will allow carbon monoxide to enter the passenger compartment of your vehicle, especially if you are driving with the windows up. Carbon monoxide is odorless and tasteless gas that kills. This will cause you to feel sleepy and will eventually cause you to loose control of your vehicle. Get the muffler replaced ASAP.
