They sound like a noisy piece of farm equipment, you can't even make them sound good like you can a Duramax or even a 6.5.
I'd even rather have a little NA 6.2 Chevy. Won't pull near as much, but quicker than a 12 valve and a decent little motor in it's own right.

I live in a little town where every kid who got his dads hand me down dodge with a 6BT in it has cut the muffler off and they think it's the baddest thing on the road. I can see why you're ranting.
Honestly though, the ones that still have the stock muffler or a decent aftermarket still sound pretty good to me. It's a pretty good motor, if you don't let the little wannabe cowboys ruin it for you.
