Are you sure that your right foot hasn't gotten heavier with the new muffler? When I threw a cherry bomb on my car my mileage dropped because I couldn't resist the feeling of power that more boost sooner brought. After the novelty wore off my mileage improved. Less back pressure should improve mileage for the same power output at the crank unconditionally.
