A bullet is strait through no restrictions. Some glasspacks have louvers cut in them that stick up into the exhaust flow.

No, some bullets have the louvers, some do not. There is only one difference in bullets. Most bullets are glasspacks, however, there are a select few that are chambered. These have no fiberglass packing in them that I know of, but they have distinct creases stamped into the bodies of them. But your average bullet has fiberglass packing and is a glasspack by definition.

I have dynomax bullets and my car is relativly quiet considering the straight through design.
