Take the silencer out and see if they respond a bit quicker. You went out of your way to fix it, now they're the inconsiderate assholes for not letting you know you're not the inconsiderate rear end in a top hat anymore. I'd just leave it out frankly, and when they ask you to fix it, tell him you'll consider it in a few days.

If they have to think about it it means they haven't noticed it... therefore it has been working, at least until you sent that message.

Just plunk down the cash for a Greddy PEX, even with no cat mine idles a much quieter and isnt horribly boomy at motorway speeds. Only cost me 60 quid! Although in my case it was to be able to pass track noise limits.

Slavvy posted:Reading that poo poo makes me hate the world I swear. Pretty much. In your shoes, if you aren't sitting there revving it outside their kid's window while they're trying to nap, and you've already made the exhaust legally quiet enough (i.e. it would pass whatever actual sound level laws you have there) then gently caress them. You've already been more than accommodating. veedubfreak posted:This is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. I remember Blooot having a ridiculous bolt-on muffler setup for his 510 just to pass tech at Laguna Seca.

Slavvy posted:Reading that poo poo makes me hate the world I swear. Yeah I frankly don't understand why you're being so damned accommodating to them. They're acting like you somehow owe them something. Frankly the whole situation is ridiculous, what right do they have to dictate to you? The fact that they had the nerve to say anything other than 'Thank you for being so accommodating.' is grounds for taking the silencer off again in my opinion. But then, I never would have put it on in the first place unless my car was ridiculously loud and I intended to idle in front of their house for an hour a day.

I can understand it somewhat. I hate being thought of as 'that rear end in a top hat with the loud poo poo next door' and my car is fairly loud. I don't like to poo poo where I eat. I want home to be home and not another loving warzone after dealing with stupid bullshit at work all day. I go out of my way to idle through the neighborhood, do noisy repairs mid-day, etc. There's certainly a limit though.

I agree that it's good for you to be taking actions to prevent being loud but spending hundreds of dollars on all kinds of new exhausts just to please them is insane. I don't recall if you've told them that you've spent a bunch of money already but it's completely unreasonable to expect more than what you've done.

Hard to tell because this dude was doing about a hundred, but he has two gigantic nuts (of the hexagonal steel variety) hanging off his back bumper. When I saw him approaching in my rearview, with the gigantic skull on his grille, I thought it'd be terrible. But those nuts... I'm not sure.

I just started parking facing downhill and would just roll down the street when I left in the mornings. It didn't help that I was living with my mom at the time and the neighbor who complained had lived there for years and was friends with my step dad. He was really nice about it as well. You can kinda see how insane the exhaust was in this picture  It just came right off the header and out the back with that supertrapp. Obviously this picture was taken after the car was destroyed by a Mercedes Sprinter van deciding not to stop for the light I was stopped at and hitting me going 30+ mph. You can see that it left its Mercedes logo on my car.

It's a creative and generally stupid way to do truck nuts. I'd hate to be the person behind them when the gigantic 3 inch solid steel nut flies off.

Dont get me wrong guys, I laughed my rear end off any time I managed to set off a car alarm idling through a parking lot, and the car was more than capable of this at one point but I dont want to skirt the law. If I am disturbing their sleep im disturbing their sleep and that is not okay. The other factor is that the car has a gray market jap motor in it. If these tolwo were to call the gendarmes I could be looking at big fines or impound.

I like the noise limits they put in place at Las Vegas Motor Speedway...  When less than a mile down the road, the runway for Nellis AFB starts.

When is that 94db allowed? at idle or flat open or what? Where I am you're car isn't meant to break 90db (96db if the car is pre-1983 cars) stationary at 4000rpm. When an officer on the side of the road tested mine I passed fine but then he looked under the hood to check if my BOV was plumbed in (it wasn't) but he couldn't find it so I played dumb. He tried just reving it and then letting off which didn't set off the BOV so he was happy. Then he accused me of relocating my center brake light and being unroadworthy for not having a rear wiper when the car came equipped with one. He spent ages on the phone to the transport department as I tried to explain that the brake light was standard and that the rear glass was from a 2 door skyline not a 4 door hence the hole for the wiper.

I can guarantee you anyone living nearby complains about the jet noise, too. See: Virginia Beach. Also Lloyd and Dave, that was excellent

Sounds like Canada, in California the cop would just issue you a boatload of tickets, betting that you would pay all the fines or make his dumbass corrections

Richard Meaden drove the eighties TWR Jaguar XJS touring car for Evo about a month back, and he described the look on the face of the guy doing the noise check as being one of genuine disgust. This is what it sounds like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhXLysNl-wE

I think it was $75. I worked at a nightclub that was adjacent to a nursing home and they got them every weekend. Old people do not like noises.
