Default How are Motive orange box gears?

Anyone using motive orange box gears? Looks like I will be recieving these with a rear I purchased and reviews on other forums seem mostly positive but often mixed. What do you guys think?

I have them, they're setup perfectly but are noisy.
As far as I have read, some are quiet, some are not. No consistent quality/cutting.

I put a set of the orange box 4.10 in my buddys car and they set up easily and run quiet. At least you cant hear anything over the exhaust.

I put a set of the blue box 4.30's in the 8.5" in my car and they are also quiet.

Orange box 4.88's in the front and rear of my truck. No noise. They should have been destroyed if you see what happened to my ring gear, held on my 3 LOOSE bolts after they all walked and the rest of them sheared. Still perfect.
