I'll go that far lol.
Agreed. They can indeed "sound like garbage" if you're expectations are all wrong. It seems that alot of modders just bolt up the same kind of exhaust systems that they would if it were an odd-fire 8 vs an even-fire 6.

Besides, the performance of these EB engines seems to be at a satisfying enough level to not disappoint. Even if one wants more, the power these engines can achieve in the aftermarket is nothing to be scoffed at.

If something subjective as the exhaust sound is the biggest gripe, then that's not too bad.

As far as Ranger goes, with how well the 2.7EB performs in F-150, it should really shine in a smaller and lighter vehicle, especially with a little massaging.
