That's what I am seeing here.
They are on "backorder" because they only ship enough pipes to go with each car, as that is the volume the company supplying them is contracted for.
I have a spare set in stock and I also sold a spare set about 3 months ago to a car owner in FL and he replaced the old design pipes with these and he has not complained about the sound or any change.
So again, look at the common denominator here and determine if anyone is being defensive.

Jay if you're really going to point fingers at Alistair and his install job or Smeding, then please explain why your own customers have complained. See here:
Post by NEWBD (is this your customer with a coyote?): "
BDR 1340 does the same thing. and I have taken the rubber mallet to them as well. It is not the 585 hp, because I have the 5.0 Coyote. It looks to me like back pressure, when you watch the pipe with the door open. All I know is its annoying. I talked with Jay on changing the mufflers out.
If that noise is normal I don't want normal Jay and Brian will figure it out you can be sure of that."
another complaint regarding the new pipes (I don't think this your customer, but it is another data point from these new pipes)
Post by eedeutsch: "
Mine also rattles when I am going slow. It probably rattles all the time, you just can not hear it going at some speed. I was told that the baffle is a straight through fiberglass pipe with holes in it. It sits in the side pipe loose. That the rattle is normal. I really do not know for sure."
Full thread here:
Back in a backdraft: Sidepipe questions
so your earlier argument was that only Jeff and I were complaining. What now?
If this is normal then let's stop the useless back and forth and I will work with Alistair and Reg on finding an alternate set of mufflers.
