The stock exhaust and vehicle sound deadening is designed to be quiet during cruising. V4 mode is only activated in certain low load conditions (it wont even be in V4 mode if you are stopped at a light). You wont ever (or shouldn't if it's operating correctly) feel or notice it's effect when you are looking for "spirited" driving. It'll never have a chance to drop into v4 mode.
depending on if you have bose or not, it might be quiet due to noise cancellation. I hardly ever drive with my windows up so I still get some exhaust noise audible but with the windows up, the only way I hear it is if i'm accelerating hard. All the other car noises you hear are passive from the intake and tire noise.
