You can look right through the '04, end to end (off the car,
of course). If you put a lens in it you could use it as a telescope
(albeit a rather heavy and bulky one).
You cannot do that with the non-S '01.

That's weird. On my 01 base, I pulled my OEM muffler before installing my Dansk pressed sport exhaust, and the OEM unit was exactly as you described the 04 muffler - ie. that you could look right thru it from one side to the other. With my Dansk, I noticed that you couldn't do that, as it had tapering tubes with holes in it that formed a cone.
I do think the 04 muffler does sound different from the 01 though, as it was engineered to produce a more raspy growl than the earlier models, but still not loud. As for flow characteristics, I have no clue. I just like the sound of my Dansk better than my OEM one.
