Since it sounds like the muffler is off the car, you could probably cut a larger hole in the center section of the muffler (maybe on top/less visible) to get it out, then patch that hole. Page 1 of this post shows the inside view of the muffler, and I would guess that it is stuck in the middle section with no way to get it to other sections or out of the muffler without cutting it open.
Hopefully your (and almost my) misfortune can help others learn to be extra cautious with running the step drills all the way through the hole.
How do you like the Borla? I have read where some people say it is a little too loud, but these engines sound so good, that is hard to imagine.

I will probabaly get a cutting torch and do just that and then weld the piece back on, I tried some Billy Boats, now those were loud, too loud, a terrible drone in the car, couldn't even carry on a conversation, I got the Borla Sport Catback exhaust, not the fancy ones and I love them, perfect. It was Borla Part# 140115
