I recorded a pretty good guitar tone but when it gets to the palm mutes it sounds all bassy and distorted. Anyone else have this problem?

Adding a HPF would be my first suggestion. Preferably controlling your low end before micing a cab. You did not mention how you recorded your tracks, so I am just guessing.
Throw up a sample if you want any kind of detailed opinions.

2:08 and 3:04. The guitar sounds a lot muddier there than it does in other sections. And what's a good frequency or resonance for hpfs? Any other feedback on that mix would be appreciated as well

Well I just added a hpf at 200hz and it made a world of a difference. Problem solved? I'd still love feedback on the mix. How's the EQ on the lead guitars?

I am not in the studio now, so can't give direct opinion from your samples. Keep in mind, that it is not always 'all' of the low end that needs to be cut out. 'Sweep' an EQ across the guitar track, and find what does/does not fit the mix. Do not do this while 'solo'd'. Do it while listening to the whole mix.
I will listen early tomorrow morning. Hopefully I can help more then.

I can't tell how much low end thud you have since I'm on my latop speakers...but you just need to adjust your right hand position on the bridge (or near the bridge, wherever is right for you) so that you find that sweet spot where you get a good blend of string sound and mute sound.
If it seems to dull/boomy...you may be diggin in too hard with the mutes.
AFA your mix...the thing that stands out for me is that your guitars have a decent amount of reverb/ambiance, and your drums have basically none...so there is a room/space disconnect between the drums and the guitars for me.
Either pull some back off the guitars or add some to the drums...or a little of both. Same as with the palm mute, find a good balance point.

Alright good advice. Which drum pieces should I focus the reverb on? Snare, OHs?
