Default Exhaust sound and AFM

So this might be a dumb question but on the eve of me installing aftermarket (and obviously louder) exhaust on my vmax I thought... Will my truck sound like a tuner rice rocket(or just shifty in general) in 4 cylinder mode?q

Not at all it sounds a little off but it still sounds like a v8!

I couldn't stand how my truck sounded after installing louder exhaust with the DOD on. I went the next day and had it turned off. I think you will hate it.

It just sounds a tad choppy, no big deal. But I have a longer magna flow to keep the sound down in 4 cyl mode.

I also hated it...The drone really sucks! I turn it off around town and when I go on long trips I turn it back on, to save on fuel, but only if I remember...

Sounds like cr*p. Disable AFM/DOD, and be happy.

Mine barely comes on anymore with the lift and bigger tires.
When its on it just sounds like a slight misfire to me?
