I believe the tsudo catback is at the lower end of the noise spectrum as well.

I had the same problem, so now when I start it I quickly put it in gear and it quiet's right down.

Sadly some people just don't 'get it' why would you have a loud exhaust it makes no sense?? to them anyway

all it takes is your neighbour having a late night or trouble sleeping and you can see how this type of person would become aggravated

I agree approaching them and asking about 'solving' the problem is the right approach
you catch far more with honey than you do with a stick

Fairfax Virginia most certainly does have a noise ordinance and I would be quite surprised if there was any major city in America that didn't have one.

Sorry, early morning posting mix up.

I just hope by replacing the catback it will be loud enough. Thanks for all the input though everyone. :thumbsup:

I don't remember which parameters I changed for you, check the idle tables for A and B to see if they still go above 1400 for cold temps, if so, there's an opportunity to quiet it down more.

Not sure how to do it lol I see if I can figure it out, and thanks for the info! Anything will help momentarily.

Thanks. I think it probably doesn't apply since I'm not technically in city limits. The only reason I know is when I was 17 I has a single turbo 3000gt, and the neighbor called the cops. They came out and told him there was nothing they could do as there were no motor vehicle sound laws. Needless to say he wasn't very happy

Update: I found out after talking to the neighbors next to me that it was the one who lives across the street from me. Apparently she is some really old lady who has nothing better to do than to stir up shit. She was also the one who called the cops when we had our house warming party as well. The lady next to us whose husband has a motorcycle and a mustang said she has called on them dozens of times and that they saw her in our yard once looking at my car....Sounds like I should be the one calling the cops on her. Anyway I decided to go with the Q300 as I prefer to keep the peace and respect my other neighbors even if I don't her. Thanks for all of your input, and for your help with the cold start issues Foobar

I have had this problem since two days after I got my car and I have the stock exhaust. On both sides of me are retired seniors who don't like me much because I don't mow my lawn often enough for them and don't spend outrageous amounts of time doing yard work to keep the place pretty. They have both called the cops several times each due to my excessively loud exhaust at 5:45am when I leave for work. Last week I asked a local PO to sit at the end of the driveway when I started the car in the morning and he said it's too loud and I need to do something soon or they will pull my registration. I am at my wits end :( If I end up having to get rid of the car because of them I will be pissed and will make sure to make their lives hell.

I think next time the closer one starts his 69 GTO with dual glasspacks I will complain. I know it won't do any good though because the old boy network here is unbeatable but it will make me feel better.

Gotta love old people. I live in Hyde Park and I was worried about the noise since the houses are so close together, but then again people can deal for the few minutes before I leave for work.
