You could hit it with some Rustoleum High-Temp flat black grille/oven paint.

Thanks! I picked-up some Rustoleum High Heat 2,000F Header Paint - Flat Black. They only had the grill paint in Gloss!

I'm taking the surface rust off right now with 80 grit paper... I will be spraying on later this afternoon...

There's certainly nothing wrong with painting/cleaning up your muffler, but I wouldn't get too concerned over this. Unfortunately, exhaust gasses are highly corrosive and will cause rust no matter what you do.

On the positive side, the muffler is pretty well hidden by the bumper cover...
