Re: placement of resinator and drone?

Back when I was in the engine business (Cummins and then Volvo Penta-Industrial) we had some Application / Installation recommendations for all the major systems. The exhaust "rules of thumb"...20% or 1/5th back from the exhaust flange to the inlet of the first/only silencer. If there was a second, then it was 20% before the outlet of the exhaust, total length measured.
Of course we were exempt at that time from Catylics. But not from CARB. Had to be quiet. Also, the silencers were sized per the output in CFM for the exhaust at maximum BHP. Not at all like the average car/truck exhaust which is an intermittant output. But the rules were the same.
As for sound, when I was a kid the dual pipes with "glass-packs" were the greatest! And then we'd add "cut-outs", Lake pipes for any of you who might remember those days.
