Q300 or Perrin 2.5 resonated, in my opinion. Also, what did the cop even tell you if there are no noise restriction laws in your locality? Are you able to find out who was complaining about it and maybe make some amends with them to let them know you're not the asshole neighbor they think you are?

You know those &%@#$ Harley riders who try to rev their engines as loud as they can driving though residential neighborhoods? They bought the Harley and ride it that way because they want to be noticed. Your neighbor probably thought you bought your exhaust because you wanted to be noticed.

That's whatever I think when I hear someone with an obnoxiously loud exhaust.

The full setup is UEL catless header, OP, catted/resonated FP, Perrin resonated CBE.

I don't want to annoy my neighbors, so I literally start with the shifter in reverse and let the clutch out as soon as the engine fires. Any load on the engine quiets it down, but it's probably still 1-2 seconds of roar when I first start up.

My advice would be to get the quietest exhaust possible (maybe Q300) or go back to stock CBE. It's not worth annoying your neighbors and/or dealing with the cops.

That's what's worrying me...I don't want to buy a whole new catback and it still be really loud. I try to leave but it's the initial start up that shakes the house.

I can assure you the cold start on the Q300 isn't near as loud as any exhaust out there. I can't hear my car from my own place anymore on cold start. I highly doubt your neighbors will complain if you had that on. They definitely won't feel their windows shake.

I forgot where I saw it but some guy covered his tips with some material so it would kill the noise when he had to cold start. Once it warmed up, he removed it and drove off

Hey everyone I have a Borla UEL header, Manzo catless frontpipe/overpipe combo, and a Manzo V2 exhaust (GReddy Evo 3 replica). I had the cold start high idle tuned out as well (thanks to @Foobar!). I got pulled over while leaving the house by an officer who had been waiting for me to leave the house. Apparently one of my neighbors has been calling his boss daily for two weeks. The cop was really cool and my city has no noise laws, however, I don't want to be that asshole neighbor. I am a pissed however that my neighbor didn't approach my girlfriend or I first however.

Anyway I was wondering on how to quiet the car down the most while still keeping as much gains as possible. I was debating on doing one of the following options and am looking for advice:

1) put the factory catted front pipe back on
2) Pick up an aftermarket high flow catted front pipe
3) Replace the Evo 3 Replica with a more quiet exhaust such as the Q300.

So, which do you think would be best?
