There's no need for separate piping if all you're looking to do is reduce sound -- that's what in-line resonators are for. Now, I want to be clear here. I am not vouching for the effectiveness of using separate piping for backpressure, I'm just explaining what the intent behind the design is. Personally, I think they're gimmicky. But believe what you want to believe. It doesn't make an ounce of difference to me.
