Using Different Oil Filter

Hi to all, I am new here and have had my SS for two weeks now. It is a 2003 black w/37k miles.

 

My question relates to a common mod done when I had a LS1. instead of using the "reccomended" filter, a lot of people, including myself, opted to use a larger filter with the same diameter and same thread pattern and hole. It usually had a gain of about a half qt of oil and having extra filter media. I just done my first oil change on the truck and noticed that It called for a pf44 ac delco. after cross refrencing this to a wix filter and seeing how small it was compared to some others, I decided to go with the longer one.

 

My main question here is I dont think the filter I got has a anti-drain back on it becasue you cannot see the rubber ring inside the top of the filter like what was in the proper filter. Is there any wix filters that are longer and have anti-drain devices that will still fit?
