In its normal position, the lower left is the inlet while the two tips sticking out on the right side (both bottom and top) are the outlets.

I don't think it'll be functional so scratch that idea.

And yes, I should have been more specific on the catback.

Here is what I think though,
The diameter on the muffled pipe should also be the same diamter also so unless you can partially block the straight tube to equalize the flow, the exhaust gas will always choose the path with the lease resistance, therefore, most if not all, of it will flow out of the straight pipe. I could be wrong and the sound could be actually nice and mellow without drone (since the muffler itself will still have that sound deadening wool-like stuff) all the way up the tach scale.
