Mike,
Right, I believe all glasspack mufflers are straight
through (mine is). BUT there is fiberglass on the
other side of that screen that absorbs a lot of the
noise. The only bad thing is that the fiberglass
deteriorates over time and the muffler gets louder.
(or if you like that run a water hose in there when
its nice and hot)
I can tell you the 'stock' muffler for the single
muffler 1275 setup (that's what I bought) is not loud,
not quiet. Just right for me (and I'm kinda wimpy
about loud noise). I'll say that the exhaust note is
a bit "flatulent" though. I'll bet that the one for
the bugeye is similar (is it a Walker also?).
