i gotta get stress out..

[Stock72c10]

Wise words indeed.

[QKENUF4U]

all depends on the city ordiance... in phoenix i/you can complain any time of day about a nuisence (dog,headers,stereo etc.)

[maddog1331]

I would keep it down man....do like another poster here said, put some cutouts (or exhaust valves, whatever folks call them) on there, and do the loud stuff when you are away from folks.

Bear in mind that some folks sleep during the day and work at night. And, for some folks (such as your neighbor), it is just plain disturbing and can affect some folks health with the stress from it. I know, not likely, but it can, especially those who need a nice quiet area to live in for their own mental health.

That being said, I am glad it sounds good, just find another place to rev it up

[Longhorn Man]

as said above, disturbing the peace is illegal no matter what time it is. period.
and, like also said above, don't poop where you eat.
in 20 years, you'll be sittin there trying to watch the boob tube and some snot nosed punk will be revin the crap out of his honda or something and you'll want to stab him right between the eyes.
trust me, it'll happen.

Take it from a 28 year old with the hearing ability of a 50 year old, turn that **** down, and put some pipes on that truck

[LOW DOUGH]

It’s called noise pollution. It is illegal. Yes I have run open headers in my own driveway at my own house but I tried not to do it for to long cause just like everyone said.... you would hate it if someone were doing it and you were trying to relax /watch TV/read/ what ever. I used to be that kid with the loud stereo and looking back that was not cool to the peeps in the hood. My dad would say he could hear me coming from 3 blocks away.

When I was younger I put all my friends’ stereos in there cars. I did one for a friend in front of another friends house and had a bad ground and got allot of feedback noise from the subs. I was trying to figure it out and here comes Mr. Police Man. He gave the guy who lived at the house the ticket and not the guy with the car.

So, be considerate. I know its fun. But treat others as you would like to be treated.

When I start driving my truck I will be idling out of my neighborhood.

i do the same thing. just last week i ran my camaro around with open headers at 11 at night and i live in town. i broke it in a few nights before at like 10 and that took 20 min. my neighbors are used to it but i was nice and didn't get on it.

[Longhorn Man]

for anyone who wants to go by the letter of the law, double check on the whole cut out idea... esp remote control ones.
Not legal in many states. They were outlawed for smog reasons, not that there's polution control items on our exhaust, but it was just genericly outlawed.
Plus, quite a few ststes will outlaw an item that is designed to break the law.

[BHyatt]

Well, I would see this as an opportunity to find out if these people in your neighborhood mean what they say. Find out what your rights are. What kind of restrictions does your local municipality place on your freedom. Then exploit them.

I love the sound of open headers and have tinkered with them for the last 25 years in my parents driveway, my grandparents driveway and now in my driveway.

Keep it in the daylight and you should be fine. That is being respectful.

[Longhorn Man]

wow... never expected we had so many A holes.
your rights end, where my rights begin.

I think he means that you can do whatever is in your rights as a citizen of this country, as long as what you are doing do not impede on his rights. And agreed.

[bitchin85]

i ran my truck with open headers in my driveway and my next door neighrobs came over and thought it was cool. then about 5 minits laterafter i was revving it and showing off a little a cop pulled in my driveway. they got a call i was reclessly driving in a neaghborhood.. my truck never left my driveway... found out the nosy old lady called the cops on me. the cop just told me to try to keep it down and not to do it after 11 and he left. theres nothing they can do unless your driving it on the road or if its after 11 at night. is it respectful? no. but you have rights too, right?

[BIGBLU 72]

my jimmy has flowmaster super 40's and full length exhaust. i was driving this summer at around 9 pm when a cop followed me to my house. he then cussed me, threatened me, and gave me a ticket cause he HEARD me speeding and that my exhaust was "deafening". tickets for exhaust are the biggest loads of crap i have ever heard of in my opinion!

[piecesparts]

Salina is a tough town to understand. KHP training center and still the town is full of nuts. One statement that always spells it out Don't poop where you live---keep the noise down close to home and life is easy. Putting headers on is a good thing--putting them on when the average family is sitting down to eat dinner and watch
TV is probably bad. Saturday afternoon while the world is beating themselves to death is the best time.

My Sister-N-Law and her sons live in the Salina area.

No matter what you do you will always have one of "those" neighbors. Like in any job, there is always one A-hole in the group....
Just be as courteous and respectful as you can and go about your way.

That wont do as good as some old gas

[Longhorn Man]

that is exactly what I ment.
And reving an uncorked engine just to make noise, or to intentionally tick off the neighbors... that's what i ment with the other part of my comment.

You have the right to pee where ever you want... I have the right to not have to see that.
Your rights end where my rights begin.

[highperf4x4]

I think it was the A-hole part that sounded a little abrasive. You're not talking to your neighbors here.
