The whole idea is to get exhaust gas out of the cylinder efficiently and getting the acceptable range of performance. Gases cool as they leave the engine and converter so a progressively smaller diameter pipe can be used. Minimizing the bends allows optimum flow. The deal with sound control is to prevent pressure wave resonance with the unibody.
