Any time your exhaust is free flowing beyond a certain point you are pushing more combusted and unburned gasses out of the exhaust. Manufacturers know this and add catalytic converters to make sure it doesn't get into the atmosphere.
I think an interesting experiment would be to block a bit of the exhaust and see if helps fuel efficiency at low amounts of throttle settings.
