Stock Muffler query?

Stock Muffler query?
Is the stock muffler baffled like a flowmaster muffler, or is it more or less a straight through like a magnaflow, but with glass pack? The reason I am asking is that I want to retro fit one on my 98 Volvo V70 R, would like to go magnaflow, but the wife would kill me. The G35 stock exhaust note would be perfect! I would be looking at getting dual cans from a 07 if they are straight through?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Great site!

It's actually a variable capacity setup. During light cruise, only one pipe is utilized. When around 50% of throttle is applied, a flap opens and the second pipe comes on line. Nissan orginally used this setup on the later model Skylines and have been used in the 00-03 Maximas and the latest Sentra SER/Spec V. The stock muffler actually flows quite well.

Depends on the system but exhaust pressure is the way I had it shown to me. Mercedes started using this in 1990 on the SLs to get the extra power with very little exhaust note at what they call cruising speeds. That V8 sounds great but they really deaden it until the flap opens up. The G Sedan will benifit from a mid pipe off the coupe but I have yet to see any dyno works showing the numbers. It feels a little quicker to rev though and the sound is even better but there is some drone to deal with.
