It's pretty straight forward. You tune your exhaust by the frequency of the RPM band. For instance you can tune it by Exhaust length, mufflers--both in dimensions, and number, as well as configuration.

This kind resonance is for all intents and purposes deconstruction wave interference. If you're only using pipes you get the phenomenon only at modes of certain frequencies; ie 2000, 4000, 8000 rpm. When you begin adding in mufflers, pre-silencers/resonators, you begin to affect the wave pattern throughout the exhaust system. Now since we can't have a modifying length of the exhaust to minimize the entire rpm band you make compromises. You can have the exhaust be relatively quiet below say 3000RPM then it can get progressively louder before hitting another node and becoming quiet again.

At the end of the day one can utilize Fourier transforms to locate and eventually eliminate the peak 'oscillation' or waves and all harmonics there of. I would attempt to tune my exhaust using this method but it may just be an attempt in futility because I'm lacking the time to do it.
