One more thought, on the subject of resonating or not: the further back you get from engine heat, the corrosion factors increase. Resonators would go first in a steel system. From my Dark Days of automotive service in the 1960s, Ford pushed their mufflers all the way back in an effort for Quiet equals Quality campaigns. Mufflers would rot in two years with that change (plus leaded gasolines). This led to them introducing aluminized steel mufflers to quiet customer complaints about the rear mounted mufflers that never really got hot enough to deal with corrosive condensation build-up.
