Stainless exhausts do have a strange resonance, as you say some can sound like a bell, other sounds like a pygmy halfway up inside the system blowing a raspberry.
The real "tinny" sounds tend to be on the thinner walled silencers, the thicker ones are usually the raspberry sound or some don't even do it at all, just give a strange "crack" to the exhaust note, especially when giving it the beans.

Good point about treating the back box if a hole is drilled, after some recent events i think i'd be inclined to lag the whole exhaust sytem with heatwrap, it will warm the back box up more and evaporate that condensation off.
