Not perfect but maybe something to consider before we can do it with Forscan.

Being that the 14th gen has been out for a minute now, has anybody found a good and safe way to permanently disable the V4 mode??
I freaking hate when it kicks into V4 mode because my truck just sounds like absolute crap.
I can't even hear the beautiful v8 sound ! The transmision whining sound drowns it out.

Tow/Haul mode also disables it.

Even just a resonator delete (should be pretty inexpensive) on the stock exhaust would help the V8 sound a lot louder, also make V4 mode more noticeable.

Custom tunes can also eliminate it.

I really want to go resonator delete just to see if it makes the stock exhaust slightly louder as I'm not trying to be too loud with babies in the car. I have not been able to find anyone who posted how just the resonator delete sounds with stock muffler. Its either that or I go Flowmaster 40 with keeping the stock resonator to tone it down some.

The resonator prevents a lot of drone on the highway, which also having babies in the car, has kept me from considering it since we frequently take roadtrips in the vehicle.

I've heard good things about keeping the resonator and replacing the muffler with a flowmaster or magnaflow. Unfortunately, it's hard to know exactly what sound you'll get via recordings.

I have the resonator delete with the stock BAP exhaust. Definitely gave it a little more sound. You can hear the V8. Zero drone.
