found this in my mailbox....

farside847 · 02-13-2006, 12:06 PM

Personally, I think its pretty mild. Dual 2.25 pipes with normal turbo mufflers. Quiter than masters. But then again I do drive this to work and leave at 6:40 every morning

*FormerMember* · 02-13-2006, 12:10 PM

Send them one back:

Buy me a Honda!

It passed SMOG!

67ChevyRedneck · 02-13-2006, 12:11 PM

I can't stand people that do that. Especially with this new "computer age" nobody talks to anyone in person anymore

I guess tomorrow morning let them know you got their note... I think a few engine revs and a long squealy will get their attention. J/K. But seriously, I'd ignore it and just do what you've been doing, because I'm sure they are just the "perfect" neighbors and have done nothing annoying themselves....

Did you order the LMC kit too???

I wanted the glass packs but when I called they said it was on a six week backorder and I needed mufflers right then and ended up ordering the turbo muffler kit. And yes, I do agree that it is considerably quiter than most dual systems. It sounds good, but not too loud.

sleepyboy · 02-13-2006, 12:29 PM

The neighbors get my pipes between 0300 and 0400. No complaints yet, but my driveway ends just about 50 feet from their bedroom window.

Send them a note back asking why their lazy butts are in bed at 06:40, then have some glasspacks put on her

That was my knee-jerk reaction too. They thought I was loud before. MUWAHAHAHA. Nah, actually I dont even know who it is. It could be four or five people. I guess they dont care about the judge edition GTO next door, the dirt/street bikes across the way, or the hopped up race lotus down the street. (I live on a fun street)

ebfabman · 02-13-2006, 12:51 PM

Ever just get a sick kid to sleep after being up most of the night only to have it wakened by a noisy motor...whether it be a truck, car, motorcycle, or lawn equipment? Or how about an elderly loved one just home from the hospital that needs rest? Yes, I know you may not have had either, but I can tell you first hand it can really pi$$ you off.

Then what's the problem with going over and talking to the person with the "noisy motor" IN PERSON? Why leave a note ON A NAPKIN in a MAILBOX. Did you know it's against FEDERAL LAW to put ANYTHING in a mailbox that wasn't deliverd by the USPS?

ebfabman · 02-13-2006, 01:10 PM

Would it make a difference?

jimv · 02-13-2006, 01:21 PM

That's why I live on 11 acres in the country. Does it have headers? Uncap them and do some "tuning" on your engine about 1am.

i did that with my truck before it pulled the engine out of it. it was backfiring real bad too. think 5 of the neighbors, and my aunt that live 1/4 mile away called complaining. but it was fun.

Putter · 02-13-2006, 01:31 PM

If you knew which neighbor it was, you could leave them a napkin with
"Go to bed earlier"
or
"Would you rather I quit my job, stay home, and TUNE my truck all day?"
or
"Fine. I will quit my job and raise Pitbulls at home then!"

....they should look on the bright side.....you could ride a Harley to work!!!

dznucks · 02-13-2006, 01:35 PM

i have lived in an apartments for 8 years now. everywhere i have lived you always have the the same type of people for neighbors. you got kids next door. the girl next door. the old man that lives above you. the married couple. the college kids. the guy with the loud truck. etc.etc.

i have always been the guy with the loud truck.

tell them to move.

Thats what my wife said.... As long as she still thinks the truck is "sexxxy" then it stays the way it is

Willy Prost · 02-13-2006, 01:47 PM

Those people get around. They left me a note saying I should learn how to park my truck. I was inside the lines but I got the beauty spot near the front door.

Spoof · 02-13-2006, 01:50 PM

It seems to me was a pretty nice way to let you know your truck is disturbing some people. It wasn't *****y or mean like some anonymous commemts can be...the sad face was cute.
I would take it as someone asking for a neighbourly favour and do what you can to minimize the noise you make...within reason.
It takes work to live in a community.

boundstaffpress · 02-13-2006, 01:59 PM

I have been on both sides of this. I have had glasspacks on my chevelle, and have little to no exhaust left on my truck right now. I've also had a neighbor who refused to check his car alarm when it went off. It went off every time a loud stereo went by. Then honked for 30 seconds. Usually 3 times every night. I did try to go by, but he wouldn't answer his door.

In consideration, I try to coast in to my parking space, and keep from revving unnecasarily when it is early morning, or late at night. Now noon is a different story.

Not if you live in Ontario. All new born pups are to be put to sleep.

I just put in a offer in on a house. I planned on alot of thing that need to be fixed never thought about the mufflers needing to get changed.

What do they want you to do ? So what the truck is loud.

jbon64 · 02-13-2006, 02:25 PM

like boundstaff , i've been on both sides . neighbor lady across the street was pounding on my door one night complaining that my stereo was TOO LOUD !!! her kid on the other hand , is just fine and f@#$%^)g dandy sitting in the driveway revving up his obnoxiously loud 2 stroke dirt bike constantly .....revving it up , not riding it , just sitting in the drive way revving the snot out of it . neighbors suck sometimes

whitesswj · 02-13-2006, 02:28 PM

when all i had was headers on, folks came out of ther house Clapping and cheering in my neighborhood. They all knew that i'd been working on it for over 6 month's trying to get it working. They were glad to hear it roar. For the next few days all i could say after anyone talked to me was, "HUH?!"

70 Bowtie · 02-13-2006, 02:43 PM

Maybe go over and talk to them and see what kind of people they are! If thier cool, tell them you will try to keep down a little, if thier punks, let her roar!!!!
