Default motor used to use oil,but not now.WTF?

my motor used to use some oil like a lot of LS1s,but now it hasn't used any in about a month.runs good,nothing out of the ordinary,haven't changed my driving habits.i'm happy,but a little confused,lol.has this happened to anybody else?
mods are stg 1 type heads,small cam,all the boltons and a 3000 stall TQ,motor has 70,000 miles on it.oh,and it is a 98.

have you changed oil, and what kind of oil are you using or have used. synthetic oil has a tendency to use a little oil because its thinner.

the only thing different is the muffler,now that i think about it.it's an SLP 2OTL.the old muffler was a flowmaster knockoff,but i can't see that making a difference.

the muffler wouldn't make a difference to using oil, who knows I would just keep checking, maybe its finally broken in. haha
