Yeah it sucks to have to spend money to fix your car and your neighbor sounds like a douche, but the noise from your car is basically noise pollution that everyone around you has to endure at the expense of their sleep. When I lived in that same townhouse, I switched to a catted header so as not to annoy my neighbors and used my OFT to tune out the cold start. Keeping peace with neighbors is worth it, at least IMO.
Isn't that the same thing as me just not turning on my car and letting it sit (obnoxiously loud), but instead driving it off right away (which makes it quitier almost as soon as i hit drive/reverse)? Is that not recommended?
