Suggestions for making the 3.5L sound better?

[KBKEITH]

The 2.7 in 2018 was faster to 60mph than the 5.0 and the 3.5 wonder if that is still the case

I wonder as well. Especially when you consider the bump in HP and TQ numbers for the ‘21 3.5.

I saw a video of this 2.7 vs 3.5 vs 5.0
both six cylinders were quicker than the 5.0
almost a full second quicker----but that did not deter me from the v8

The new 5.0 with 3.73 is pretty darn quick and sounds great

I have 3.31 in mine and was pleasantly pleased with the 50mph + acceleration

Coming from the Tesla world my 3.5 with 3:55 rear gear is very quick and fast!! It's sure awesome in its sport mode.

For sure, it was quicker than my Ram and the 5.0 I drove. I’m guessing it’s all that torque on the 3.5. I feel like my Ram is a little quicker than the 5.0 though. I’d rather have the 3.5 but I’m not sure I can get used to the sound.

Really the new 5.0 is 5.5 sec 0 to60 not sure what the ram is but its probably high 6s maybe even low 7s

When I accelerate hard I can’t hear the engine noise over my wife whining about my speed. Get the 3.5.
I love mine and my wife too.

it is not. I drove the 2.7 for about a week. Was itching to get back into my 3.5. The 2.7 has a bit more dig power for about 1 second but after that the 3.5 will scream passed it. 0-60 3.5 wins every time now.

I'd like to see 0 to 60 for the Powerboost vs the regular 3.5. Does anyone know if there is a video or article on this?

I've been wanting to see this as well.

If i had to guess... I think the EB would take off the dig faster, but PB would real it in towards the 1/4 and beat the EB by a fender.

I saw in TFL they were running the PB against the ram and the 6.2 chevy. The PB had a substantial amount of lag off the start. TFL guy said it might have something to do with the way the hybrid system takes off. The PB always got off to a slow start almost like throttle didn't register right away but always reeled the other trucks in. 0-60 was faster as well.

I just cut the resonator off. It doesn’t add any drone or any obnoxious tone at speed or getting there . It gives a better rumble at idle and just enough whistle to know you have turbos under there.

Could you do a rev video? I'm wanting to do this, thanks.

It doesn’t do much as far as off idle and a bit of lower rpm sound. You pretty much don’t know it’s there unless you’re parked.

Better suggestion is to get a better radio and turn up the tunes!
