Who cares how they flow? People aren't buying axle backs for flow. They're strictly for sound. If they have changed the core they will sound different.

I really doubt that. With as little packing as those have in them, a perforated core won't muffle any more than the louvered core and I doubt there would be any difference in sound.

Well I called AM regarding the problem and they asked me to send them pics via e-mail. I did and after, they told me they would "get right back with [me]".
About a few minutes later they told me that they had "good news and bad news" for me. The good news was that my set was NOT a manufacture defect, just an update of the exhaust (sorry guys--I was a little upset after hearing that part at first); However (I guess this part was supposed to be the "bad news" but I actually thought otherwise), they called MAC Products and Mac told AM that they STILL HAVE the previous sets (the exhaust with the baffled/louvered resonators--the kind I want) and that they can ship me a new (previous model) set.
Also, for those of you who said sound wouldn't be afffected, according to MAC Products, said that the model I have (perforated core) is a SIMILAR sound but different in that it is going to have a more "raspier tone".
Looks like I have solved my own problem. OK--with the help of AM and of course MAC Product's information and customer service.
