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.
