While I didn't pop the hood, the car I had did have the V-6:

OPTION PDQ - Includes 3.6L V6 SFI 24-valve DOHC engine with variable valve timing and 252 hp @ 6,300 rpm and 251 lb-ft of torque @ 3,200 rpm, dual chrome exhaust tips and hydraulic power steering.
I did notice the dual exhaust on the car; I also noticed a LTZ at SNA upon my return with a single exhaust so that was one with the I-4. It also had the CF5 sunroof and 58U metallic paint options; I think I really lucked out.
