Default Use for rattling muffler?

The left-side (right bank) muffler on my car broke a baffle or something loose inside and rattles now, so I treated it as an opportunity to upgrade exhaust. I hate to throw away the old muffler though; I've read of some people cutting them open and re-welding the internal baffles in place, which sounds promising but I'm not a welder and don't feel like seeking one out since I don't need this part anymore. Does anybody have a use for this muffler? I'd be happy to ship it to somebody for shipping cost plus a few bucks.

Also the right-side (left bank) muffler is in perfect shape and I'll be putting it on eBay, but if somebody wants either or both, please speak up!

So much for that idea.

Shouldn't be too expensive to ship it just about anywhere...They only weigh ~20 lbs each and aren't that huge.

Now I'm curious what SCHN3LL's idea was.

I have Fisters, but the Fister cans are stock mufflers with some additional weight added. A couple of folks have gutted stock mufflers, and if I had a bad muffler to experiment on, I'd try my had at it. My welding is so terrible that I'm not willing to pay for a victim, but if I come across a pair of stock cans locally that have gone bad internally, I'm going to go Victor Frankenstein on 'em.

Use them for yard art. Now I can warn people that there are rattlers in the garden.
