Diesels operate with a 18:1 to 22:1 compression ration (gas engines go up to about 11:1 with high octane gas)

What way should a glass packed muffler be facing?

i own a shop and the difference in the two engines is like daylight and dark,a gas engine has to have an ignition source to ignite the fuel,as to a diesel doesn't have to have an ignition system,if fires off of compression,and the sound you hear from a diesel is because of the valves in them,and the way they fire,you cant ever get rid of the sound of one of those,but on a gas engine ,changing a muffler changes the way it sounds,but it doesn't work that way on a diesel engine,they will always sound like that ,no matter what you do to them,good luck hope this helps.
