But this makes a lot of sense. When I started looking at new MHs I could not believe how loud the V-10 was. I thought the transmission was slipping,I was used to my old 454 which makes max torque at 1800 rpms.

If either engine is noisy, the MH manufacturer did a poor (or no) job of insulating the dog house. I put $150 worth of sound insulation on the bottom of the dog house on mine. It is now quiet until the engine gets over 4000 rpm----------------which means it's quiet most of the time.
