You can buy small mufflers like for lawn mowers or motorcycles, then connect them with flexible tubing from car parts stores. They also sell U shaped clamps. I don't think running without a muffler will cause any harm, mechanically. The only way it could harm the valves is if the exhaust removed heat which would build up internally. That is doubtful.
