What is the goal of moving the muffler - aero?

My concern is the loss of low-end power with a free-flow muffler. I had one on a base Civic and lost a lot of low-end grunt. In a Winter "off-road incident", it got torn off, so I put the stock one back on. It was night-and-day. My Mom used the car one day and even noticed.

Since we generally use low-RPMs most of the time, whatever would benefit this end of operation. Perhaps a fart-can with a restrictor?
