Gotcha. My experience is that the most noisy of all are the Fords, regardless of the age. The older fords sound like an empty tin can shaking some rusty bolts around in it - with a amplifier on it. I can't really speak toward the legacy Cummins as far as noise. But from '03 on, I find them to be not a single bit noisier than the Dmax - at least if they're stock. Non-stock, and it can all change.
