if you ever look into an old school glass pack you will see why, they have little ridges that disrupt the airflow, a muffler such as a Dynomax Bullet and the ones you mentioned will not have any ridges.
Ridges will disrupt airflow, but they are necessary to expose pressure wave to deadening material. You can remove ridges disruption will be less, but sound deadening will be lower. A glasspack and Dynomax Bullet work on the same principal, they deaden the sound.

A muffler cancels the sound. A pressure wave of opposite shape is thrown at the wave coming into the muffler, and sound is canceled.

I don't doubt you're racing, but apperently you don't know the underlaying theory behind a lot of aspects of automobile technology.
