Question Strange "DRONE"

Just picked up my 350 C/C FX4 this afternoon, upon starting I notice a drone coming from the muffler or exhaust under bed of the truck. It must be a problem because we started 3 05s on the lot and all 3 had it. It must not be too bad, more nitpicky than anything. I guess either ford will fix it or I'll fix it when I get my dual exhaust from Motorhaven at the first of the year. THIS TRUCK ROCKS. I LOVE IT. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.
