1. It could be blown back out by the exhaust gases exiting the exhaust system.
2. It could partially restrict the exhaust flow out of the exhaust system and rob the vehicle of power and fuel-economy. Depends on the size and mass of the object.
3. If it is something with a fairly low melting point and/or flash-point, it could melt into the hot exhaust and/or catch fire inside the exhaust pipe (some types of plastic). Possibly including #2.
4. You could end up with funny sounds coming from the vehicle (and possibly either #1 or #2 above).
Not something you want to find out by personal experience. You might want to submit the question to the "Myth Busters" whom you can probably contact via the Science Channel or Discovery Channel web sites.

what, like a BB or something? It'd either get stuck in the muffler and rattle around, or get pushed back out by the exhaust.

The car would explode and you'd feel like Bruce Willis.
