In a nutshell... it cancels drone and makes for a much smoother "performance" sound. Magnaflow and Borla are known for this design. Been around for several years.
This is a split backflow design. Reduced rumble with all the performance flow.
Magnaflow and Borla have write ups and vids of this.
The resonator does not tie directly into the muffler. It is "looped" prior to the muffler.

Stainless brake lines are almost complete. We'll tie into master tomorrow.
Transmission lines are run and shifter bracket is installed.
Radiator arrived and will get it set and plumbed in tomorrow.
ESTOPP and steering box arrived late today and will get those set for install and wiring tomorrow.
Upholstery is coming along. Should be done next week. Love that black Paloma leather. Expensive but gorgeous IMO...

Didn't get the trans lines to the radiator mated up or the final brake lines done, but we modified and cleaned up the harness. Loomed and installed the engine and transmission harness.
Steering box, pitman and lines are installed. Need to tie into the hydroboost side.
OEM shifter cable and bracket installed
Axle vent lines are installed.
ESTOPP is laid out and waiting on the 2:1 cable bracket to finalize.
AC and heater line bulkhead fittings are on the way. Restomod Air system is enroute.
Body is set and going to check everything one more time before bolting it down, but shouldn't need to pull the body again for any reason.
Radiator is set and I'll get the trans and brake lines finished tomorrow. Drew the firewall block off plate for the heater/blower port. Will be using a billet 2 piece grommet to run the wiring loom through to finish it off.
