does muffler location really matter in regards to sound or performance? Below is a diagram. which one should it be or does it not matter?
and also why isnt my Sig showing up?

did you spell should wrong? haha it kinda looks like "shoule." lol i love that diagram.

The more piping after the muffler, the more it will resonate...ie, it will be louder.

could that also create stray sounds though? (having it up closer there i have it). im buying a new one because the flowmaster i have is going bad. when i first got it on my 300m it was awesome, now the more and more ive been driving it im getting this honking sound coming out of it, like i plate in there is loose. and correct me if im wrong flowmasters dont have a break in, plus i had it on the prelude for about 1 1/2 - 2 years so it cant be from switching cars.
