You're seeing/feeling things. A muffler is simply a metal can with metal fins inside it, unless you buy a design that has packing in it. Even if you burn the packing out it won't give you "noticeable" power, just make your car sound like ***.
Try to use real sentences, it takes a fraction of a second more and goes a long way to prevent yourself from looking like a moron.

LMAO!! It does! Better get that in to an authorized GM Dealer!
Haro is right though, there is something like a break-in.. but more of the sound does change with new mufflers. I noticed it on my mom'* car too. Even though that is a factory muffler.
I'm not sure if haro'* got louder or softer, but me mum'* got softer.

As the metal heat cycles it expands and contracts, this softens it somewhat (not much) and it gets into a groove if you will. It also might get some buildup, which can change the tone.
If you have a glass packed muffer, or one with a lot of baffles/chambers they can change more.
