that is usually the sound it makes when installed with the pressure on the bottom or in the "reverse" position

I talked to the APR guys and their main recommendation was to get new spark plugs (NGK PFR6Q's with a 0.028 gap). When asked about the DV they said "it couldn't hurt to replace, but the main issue is the spark plugs."

Bullshit or good advice?

Very good advise, you need to lower the gap in your plugs. The stutter is you blowing out the spark. Just take your current plugs and move tha gap to .028. Also, most go to a colder plug with a chip, so that would make them 7's instead of 6's. You can still use a 6, but you may have better results with 7's. But decide that when its time to replace your plugs.

the first noise is flutter and is bad. you want the long clean release like in the second one.
