in lamen's terms-look at your muffler as a speaker, is a speaker louder if it is closer to you or farther away? a muffler muffles the soundwaves-hence the name-if it is closer to the cab-vs by the back axle-this speaker is further away,i saw a post on another forum where a guy tested his setup with mufflers by x pipe vs back by axle,less decibles in cab when he moved muffler right before axles, i can put this any simpler...

Thanks Darren. I didn't know about the high flows being straight through as well. But in any case, I am not getting them. I could be wrong on this, but what your saying doesn't make much since to me. If they are designed to absorb the dorne with the wool, that takes down the vibration from the sound. From the headers to the muffler is just a straight pipe letting the sound vibrate through the pipes into the cab until it gets to the muffler. It is like if someone spoke into a wall with insulation versus non, the insulation would absorb the sound and thus make it quieter in that spot. Does that make any sense or am I still missing it?
