Thrush turbo mufflers

Would you guys trust 16 year old thrush turbo mufflers for the break in? The ones on the car were relatively new when I parked it but it's been setting for 16 years idk what has got in it and built a home or died or something else in there. I'm just worried about them being blocked or something. I'm not worried so much about sound yet I just want a smooth uneventful breakin . I considered cutting them off and welding on some cheap glasspacks but dont really want to spend the money on a temporary muffler. Or I could just cut them off and weld a piece of pipe and straight pipe them. What do you guys think?
What ever is in there will blow out soon as it starts and you’re reving it at 2500 to 3000 rpms
