You know I have to comment.....today I drove around the Charlotte outer loop and did some pulls, shifts hards runs and cruise in both comfort, sport & sport plus with flaps open and closed. I have a JB4 so it has a bit more pep. It does exhibit drone around 3k and you can hear it and feel it in your butt but in defense of the MPE...... how much damn time do you spend at 3k? The drone window is not that big and at 80mph in 7th (dct) your way below 3k so their is really no drone then and our cars are built with less sound deadening material so everything seems to cause more noise.

I think it sounds really really good and find that it is fairly quiet in the flaps closed mode aka sport. I think it gets a bit of a bad rap...I am really glad I got it and very happy with it.
