The H pipe has nothing to do with it for a number of reasons.

High frequencies have short wave lengths, low frequencies have long wave lengths.134Hz is 100.7756" even at room temperature. 134Hz is pretty long and wide. It's probable that the muffler is already in the 134Hz range. Moving it a few inches isn't going to get it out of or into the 134Hz range. If the muffler is completely in the wrong spot there isn't enough room to move it into the right spot. Further, even if I could put the muffler in exactly the right spot, The muffler DOESN'T have tuning for the 134 Hz frequency. I could put the muffler anywhere, and it still wouldn't attenuate the 134Hz frequency.

Assuming the stock mufflers did not drone, I doubt it had anything to do with where they were and far more to do with what they were.
