An apparatus (10) for inflating an inflatable vehicle occupant protection device (12) includes a tubular body (30). Fluid may flow through a plurality of discharge openings (54) in the tubular body (30). An ignitable material (64) is located within the tubular body (30) for producing, when ignited, combustion products including gas for inflating the protective device (12). A filter (70) is located within the tubular body (30) and around the ignitable material (64). A plenum chamber (100) is located between the filter (70) and the tubular body (30) for combustion products to enter after flowing from the filter. A flow directing member (80) is attached to the filter (70) and is located in the plenum chamber (100). The flow directing member (80) is spaced from the tubular body (30) and positioned to block combustion products from flowing radially outward from the filter (70) directly to the plurality of discharge openings (54) and to direct combustion products to flow around edges (82, 85, 86) of the flow directing member.
