of course not, it just gets rid of the high RPM idle that you get on cold starts which is merely for emissions purposes with the cat which ya don't gots..

As I'm writing this and hearing this very loud train pass me, I should also mention that yea, there's a train that goes by here every morning around 2-5am a few times as well. It's not the quiestest area during the day for car traffic, or night with the train. I feel like he's blaming other sounds
that perhaps isn't even me and thinking "it must be that guy down the street with his loud car" all the time.
well it sounds like you are being a bit stubborn you said it yourself, gf thinks it sounds like you're starting up a rocket ship! First time I've heard that on this forum so clearly it is pretty loud.. Unfortunately you can't please everyone and getting the police involved would probably only add fuel to the fire. I would get rid of the high RPM cold start and just ignore the dude..

Good read for understanding OFT..
