Between 2750 and 3000 there is still drone under light load, but the sound is different, and "better" [ie-- more like a power sound]. I "think" it feels like more power is there [but that may be just wanting it!] The sound is better for sure. Overall I am very satified with the change .

.. PS: love your Country-- was there two years ago for three weeks.
Other than the reduced drone how would you describe the sound:
1. on startup
2. throughout the RPM range
3. on throttle
4. lifting off the gas

Thanks!
