i suggest you check the muffler for rust ASAP. if its under warranty still, get it replaced ASAP if it shows damage. If no rust damage, get some rustoleum high temp spray paint and cover the muffler in it.
here is why: the muffler is made of 2 layers of metal, and its NOT stainless steel. the outer layer has COMPLETELY rusted through on mine, and i have a million holes in the inner layer as well. sounds awful. had it been stainless steel, or even if it was coated, none of this would be a problem. new V6 mufflers arent cheap either. im going to have to patch mine up for now and hopefully than can keep me going for now. the damage started showing at about 55,000 miles, now im at 80,000 and its ridiculous. so yes, get it checked as soon as possible and at least rust-proof it even if it has no rust or damage.
