I wrapped and repacked the baffle on Friday. It is much quieter and I sound much less like a hooligan. While riding this weekend it seemed to me there was a marked increase in MPG.
Is this possible?
The last time I filled up from half tank I had put on 97 miles. Yesterday when I got home I had just above 3/4 of a tank and I had 79 miles on the clock. That's seems to me like a pretty big difference.

absolutely. The engine was designed to run with a specific back pressure. Operating closer to design value will give you better efficiency.
