That's possible although I thought internal muffler design had the most to do with it. just read this article

Down-turned tips, particularly those that force the exhaust underneath the car, can deepen the exhaust note by bouncing sound off the ground and using the undercarriage as a resonator. The ground will absorb much of the annoying high-frequency sound from smaller displacement or more restricted engines.


So the legamax tips are slightly pointed up which doesn't help
