found this in my mailbox....

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

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.

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

HaHaHa, I used to drive a civic with a 3" Magnaflow exhaust on it, it would
set my neighbors car alarm off almost every morning, of course they always
parked it in the street, now they use the driveway, and btw, I leave at 4am

*FormerMember* · 02-13-2006, 12:10 PM

Send them one back:

Buy me a Honda!

It passed SMOG!

No kidding, what do they expect me to do? Buy a new car becuase my truck sounds like a truck?

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....

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)

lol my f-150 blew a muffler about 2 years back and well t was loud and all my neighbors compained

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?

This is an attempt to be nice and let him know that he is being disturbing w/o confrontational. I don't see why you're making a fuss about it or why you seem to be so defensive here. The neighbour coulda done any number of things including calling the cops, flattening his tires, parking in front of his driveway so he couldn't leave, but instead they chose to leave a note in the mailbox. You CAN'T get much nicer than that. You don't get the discomfort of talking directly from either end - the neighbor gets their point across, the owner of the truck is notified, no harm, no folly, no lawsuits, no cops, no harassment.

Talk to some of the guys on this forum with nutbag neighbours - there have been many posts about this in the last year. He obviously has kind and considerate neighbors for not making a ruckus to notify him and actually trying to contact him before a lawyer, the city or an officer of the law.

By bringing "federal law" into the matter (assuming that's a legit piece of info), you're really only clouding the matter at hand, really. I don't understand why you included that tidbit, it doesn't really support your case at all.

I'll make two points here:

It's almost not safe to confront people anymore without getting into a fist fight or shot.

It's possibly against the law to have loud/noisy vehicles depending on sound ordinances in your area.

Yes, putting ANYTHING in a mailbox that wasn't delivered by the USPS is illegal, which is regulated by the federal Gov. therefore a federal offense. I was merely trying to state that if the neighbor wanted to be an ass he could be one right back and get him in trouble for putting stuff in mailboxes illegally.

Man, you can really take a statement and twist the living hell out of it sometimes

but it's all good entertainment

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!!!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
