Not sure how you are getting a link between gas mileage and a muffler, so I'll just skip that one. As far as the lowend torque, it's not so much the muffler, it's the restriction which causes some backpressure. Generally the muffler isn't considered as much as the diameter of the piping, but regardless, this doesn't apply to turbo cars, only NA, as mentioned previously a couple of times.

Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is the 92nd out of the 315 that were made that year. Only 21 of which are exactly identical.
