Muffler body length questions

I'm looking at getting exhaust done on my truck and I'm going to order some magnaflow mufflers. My question is, what type of sound and tone differences will the be with a 14" body vs. a 18" or a 22" body. I'm pretty sure I'll have plenty of room for what ever length I get. I'm just wondering what type of sound level and tone differences there will be between the longer or shorter body mufflers. Any and all opinions wanted. I'm kinda thinking about pulling the trigger on the 10416's. I'm just looking for some advice before I do. Thanks in advance.

As a reference, here is what i'm looking at getting,

Re: Muffler body length questions

The general rule of thumb is: the longer the muffler the lower/deeper the tone.
