To be clear - the first times you thought you got toe out with a muffler delete was based on the sears measurements?
Yes, and according to what I measured last night I do indeed have toe out currently even after reinstalling the factory exhaust.

I initially measured 1/8" toe in, then 0, then I measured 1/16" toe out last night. Measured the exact same way each time. The first sears alignment showed amount of toe in that concurs with my 1/8" toe in measurement. The second time showed -0.06* toe out which matches the 1/16" toe out I measured last night. No alignment changes were done to the rear end between the different times. Only thing I did was zero the front toe, the rest was just moving weight of fuel, muffler and myself on and off of the car.

I will fill up my gas tank and measure again if it doesn't rain tonight and see if I get some of the toe in back.
