I agree. I went from a 07 4.8 to a 10 3.5D and thought no more nice sound when accelerating but it sounds great. Just idling I do not hear the traditional diesel sound. You may think of with US trucks.

I also do not see much performance drop off either which is a really nice surprise..
In the NW US however you can not find a new one to test. They are ordered as customer cars and sold before they get here. Just like mine was.
