dont put the muffler back on thats redundant. your car should "bark out" pretty well especially because its an auto. get it tuned if you want some more bark out of it.

You never get anything in life for free. Didn't your daddy teach you that?

Seriously, yeah you typically lose some throttle response and some "torquey" feeling at lower rpms when swapping to more free flowing exhausts. Perfectly normal. Gain some up top, give up some on the bottom. Go faster with mods, lose gas mileage. Stickier tire, less tread life. I could go on and on.
