This is the only statute I could find in reference to a muffler...I also looked in 'CHAPTER 727. MODIFICATION OF, TAMPERING WITH, AND EQUIPMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES' and there is no mention of mufflers there either. Your insurance wouldnt go up even if you did get a ticket because its not a moving violation.

547.604. Muffler Required

(a) A motor vehicle shall be equipped with a muffler in good working condition that continually operates to prevent excessive or unusual noise.

(b) A person may not use a muffler cutout, bypass, or similar device on a motor vehicle.
