Holes in muffler

I've got some small rust holes in my muffler...what will this do to my car?? do I need a new one?
I was thinking of going with a hooker, ....I want something that will give me a loud, but not choppy sound....just a low loud rumble
is it worth it also getting a new catylitic converter?

If you have to get the car inspected you'll fail, but if it's not annoying you, just stick with it, unless you want a new muffler.

If you want a nice idle sound, I'd get a flowmaster actually, Hooker aero chamber is more for a WOT sound, IMO.

Not just smogged, but inspected , like when you first get a car...

the flowmaster website has all the descriptions of all their mufflers. just find which one suits you best. 40 series is the loudest flowmaster makes.
