They are the same. I agree, wait till you hear mine. It's an actual knock. I can't upload the vid on here though.What do PP cars have different than other GT 5.0's? The noise is not right man...

I couldn't either. They did not but it is in the complaint is in the system and they did seem pretty cool about keeping in touch if a tsb comes out. I'm sure my engine will go at some point but so far so good. I do run it hard.I just can't believe the dealer will just dismiss this, that's unacceptable. Did they show you another car on the lot with the same sound

My first guess would have been exhaust leak as well. It's plausible the exhaust flowing over a certain part of the new pipes is causing a small turbulence even though there is no leak. My car has longtube headers and the collectors make a sound like an exhaust leak at idle even though the seal is perfect.
If that isn't the cause, I'd likely blame the early oil change as I've seen this complaint a lot from '11-14 owners. In many cases the issue cleared up with mileage and driving it hard. Get the engine nice and hot and go WOT close to redline a few times and see if that helps.
If possible jack the car up and listen around the oil filter as well. These can have check valves and baffles that make noises as well. I recommend the Motorcraft FL500S if that isn't what you used.
