On a regular muffler, try yelling into it and hearing yourself on the other end.

Well assuming you can fit more more of the bars inside a muffler (used to create destructive interference), then the larger muffler would be more able to cancel out sound waves, not to mention a larger muffler could have thicker walls which increases sound wave absorbtion.

Your argument is faulty.
