My car does a squeaky noise from either the muffler or somewhere above it when I release the gas pedal, and rpm goes down (on idle). Or when I'm going slow on first or second gear (gas pedal released).

Put the transmission into first gear, engine off, and parking brake off. Raise the hood, then rock the vehicle forward and backward a few times. You'll see the engine rock too. If you hear the squeak each time it rocks, suspect the metal manifold flange gasket between the exhaust manifold and the exhaust pipe.
