If it was a true dual exhaust (even just two outlets coming from the muffler) there wouldn't be any use for a by-pass valve. The only way that valve can cause the exhaust to be louder, is if it is allowing the exhaust to go straight to atmosphere and not through the muffler - or at least through less of the muffler.
And depending on the configuration of the baffles inside the muffler, that can still be the case even if the second pipe is coming off the muffler.
And yeah - the pic seems pretty clear all the way to the front of the car - no resonator - just the one muffler at the back.
Check this out ... sounds a lot like what you have.
