Default need help with mpgs

i have a 2006 ram that i was getting about 19 mpg in with an edge juice module and s&b cold air intake, so i thought i could make it better by installing an exhaust so i did i installed a banks cat back monster exhaust an a cfm intake manifold but ever since the mpgs have tanked i am now getting around 15-16 any suggestions

yea, put a smaller exhaust back on, our trucks dont need back pressure, but with it, they have a little better low end, and can actually make up for it, also what level you running the juice on, when i had mine i yielded the best with it on level 3, low boost fueling on 5, and std backdown set for slippage...
