There are atleast 200 cars with these pipes out there from Backdraft. The other company using them has over 500 I would guess.
Have you ever owned a car with glasspacks?

Jay I've shared my experience directly as have others and we have been pretty clear that this sound is unacceptable and has worsened over time. I value your input and feedback, and I'm looking for options for an alternative set or a fix, but you sound defensive in this regard. Furthermore Backdraft has not been helpful at all. I'm certain that if you heard these pipes you would objectively agree that the excessive rattle is not normal.
My take away from this thread is the following:
1) These glass packed mufflers will have some waddle / rattle on deceleration.
2) HP of the engine is not a factor since you have 700+hp cars with these pipes and you find the rattle to not worsen
3) 200 backdraft cars plus another 500 other cars have these pipes with allegedly no complaints
So the only logical conclusion is that the folks who are experiencing this excessive rattling are:
A) uber-sensitive to this sound, since allegedly the other ~700 owners of the same pipes are happy.
or
B) is it possible, just possible that we have bad pipes that should be replaced by backdraft?
BTW Why is backdraft on backorder on these pipes? Design change?
