Question Need some help with noise laws

Hello,

So this evening, I get home from work and my neighbor is up in my face about how "loud" and "fumey" my truck is. My truck does have true dual exhaust going to flowmaster mufflers and it does not smoke. It smells rich at time, but it does not smoke unless something is burning off the manifolds which rarely happens.

Basicaly, my Dad approached him about his music playing being too excessive. And the neighbor wanted to vent at me about that and complain about how much he hates my truck and how he hates the fumes coming from it. The neighbor was just grabbing at anything coming out of his butt to use to strengthen his argument.

The truck is my daily when I can't / don't want to drive my motorbike. Now that it is getting colder, I really don't care to have frost bite on my hands in the mornings when I go to college. And it is not like I sit out there for hours revving the motor needlessly. If I am working on it, yeah, I'll rev it if I need to. Other than that, I don't usually rev it beyond what it needs.

So, if this situation progresses to where the police get involved, my truck will not pass a decibel test. Nor will his music playing. What would I need to do to my truck to keep the noise level down and still keep the Horsepower and not get a potential $1000 ticket or jail time?

Thanks.
