Sound level of exhaust dumping before axle vs. rear

[jmac]

Are resonators more effective before or after the muffler?

I've seen it both ways, just wondering if there's a benefit of doing it one way or another.

I think its more about packaging on some. The Trailblazer SS had it after the muffler. The butterfly valves to control drone on the GM trucks are after the muffler, but the Vette (if equipped with them, some aren't) are before the mufflers.

Tailpipes all the way to the back will definitely reduce the in cabin noise. I prefer the dumps because I don't care to talk to my kids.

But I get it.... do the tail pipes... then if still loud, do a larger case muffler setup.

Use a balance tube as well.
