There is no need for VR to waste their time commenting. They have explain the aspects, showed their data, others have gone to the track and posted results or dynoed.
As far as the whistling goes not everyone has noticed this. At least one person has noted it was a leak and after tightening it went away. Mine had a whistle at a certain narrow band RPM when the temps were in the low sixties. It was very minor. I certainly would want them to kill off some of the perrormance to cure a very minor whine.
The upside down thing was just me being me. I had to try it. Initially it seemed as if flipping was at the very least the same as, or maybe slightly better, than installed correctly. But that wasn't the case.
Mine initial test was not a back to back, and a bad idea. Apparently the impression of my last drive the night before with the wedge on correctly, while being almost 100 degrees, had clouded my perception in the comparison.

I know better. For this reason, I rechecked stock, wedge installed correctly, and wedge flipped back to back. This is how it should be done, especially when doing the unscientific butt dyno.
Later today I plan on repeating the flipped versus not one again. It just seems to me that the diference between those two back to back would be very obvious.
