Just different styles of bypass "valves". Look around for photos here. Some use coil spring mechanisms some use shaped steel for holding force.....
Here's some different brands:

Don't care for that spring? Try a Purolator Pure One/Premium Plus or Wix/Napa Gold/Silver.
Yeah thats right the delco has it and the wix doesnt.Ive always heard that wix makes the best filter so Id like to stick with wix as long as this spring issue is OK
Sometimes I'm going 1megMPH - indeed it IS unusual that the WIX has changed construction, if that's the case.

Ok so back to my question. When you look in the Wix you just got do you see the bottom of the can or what looks like a stamped piece of metal up off the bottom and pushing on the filter element?
