[QUOTE="Truckzor, post: 892748, member: 10220"] Nah. Not me. Not for a V6. I got off the fence and bought my truck partially because of the EB rumors, as did many of the other guys on here. As far as I know they are all 60 degree turbocharged V6s with the same firing order and the same exhaust routing. Can't imagine them sounding much different. That's just not reality, though. Sure, you can change the volume and you can add or take away some raspiness or resonance, but it's not easy to change the exhaust tone. No one is going to spend millions of dollars making the EB sound good. And even if they did, what would be the point, it still wouldn't sound as good as a V8. If you want to know what the truck is going to sound like out here in the real world go on youtube and give some EB F150s a listen. Mostly they are dead quiet. Guys are keeping them that way because they sound like shit. Even most of the 12 second trucks are quiet. The ones that aren't sound like milk trucks with a leaky on board air compressor. Much more likely that Ford will fix this problem by piping fake exhaust sounds into the cabin through the entertainment system. Actually, I just checked, and that appears to be exactly what they are doing...
