I would say putting them close to the headers would slow the flow and cool the exhaust quicker (not good) making the exhaust from the mufs>> back cooler and slower causing it to be a deeper sound (longer sound waves)... but it will also cause more backpresure because the gas is moving slower after the muffler than before the muffler causing a backup of gas.
Putting the mufflers closer to the end of the exhaust (not at the tip though) would allow the highspeed / high temp gasses to flow smoother through the exhaust tubing then dump into the muffler then out the exhaust quicker,high speed gas, sound waves , higher pitch.
Sound good?

The closer the marks the higher the speed of the gas.
