Do you have stock exhaust or aftermarket?

My EB is whisper quiet at all speeds. Pretty sure they all are, stock anyways....

The couple that I've drive were very quiet as well. It's kind of wierd to have that much torque without the roar of the engine. I liked it.

My 3.7 V6 is a different story. The exhaust is pretty loud stock. If I were going to do anything with the exhaust on my truck it would be to quiet it down.

In theory a V6 typically will not drone as bad as a V8, especially in a dual exhaust set up. Most V8s have two cylinders that fire in a row on each bank. This causes funny exhaust pulses that create the warbling drone sound. A V6 pretty much always fires one bank then the other. This keeps the exhaust flow smoother but does not produce the distinct V8 rumble sound.
