All the reviews have said that there isn’t any piped in engine noise on the 4Runner. The Tundra yes, but not this model.
I drove an ORP and I don't know that I would describe what I heard inside the cabin as "throaty" by any means.. It sounded surprisingly better than I expected, but it certainly does not sound like a 6. The sound of the 6 is common that our dog perks up whenever we're walking and a Taco or a 4Runner fires up the engine. She's been riding in 4Runners for 12 years and knows nothing but that sound. You won't be getting that.
I am wondering if there are any particular exhaust tips that might 'enhance' the sound a bit?
Not expecting it to sound like a 6, but anyone have any suggestions to help it not sound like a Honda Pilot?
