Advice: Has anyone had neighbors etc. complain about the loudness of their exhaust?

abm89 · 03-03-2015, 11:45 AM

I've had a few notes on the car. I just blame the dude with the raspy V6 Mustang who actually hits it leaving the complex all the time.

I don't go WOT after starting the car anyway. I don't feel like busting a sandwich-plate seal.

I used to leave that early also, 530ish, I let my car run for a good 8-10 mins in the winter before I move it, but along with everyone else I never lay on it in my neighborhood.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it is not good quality.

Do some research on the good exhaust brands. F.I. ,ARK, Stillen, Motordyne etc. Lots of good options out there.

well i know its a cheap exhaust but do you think it'll sound some what good for a cheap exhaust because i do want a cheap exhaust for a temporary since im gonna save up for rims and bodykit as my first real mods

Sounds like a waste of money just save and when the time is right buy a legit one.

but would this be better than a top speed axle back or a aam short tail ? since this cat back is nearly the same price

I don't think it will sound good or last long. Save up a little bit longer and find a quality, used exhaust from the classifieds here if you are on a budget. I've done "temporary" mods on previous cars and they are a waste of money in the long run. My motto with the Z is do it right and do it once.

Well said

In TX, I used to start mine up around 0515-ish and leave around 0530-ish. When I was in Italy (different car, but similarly loud cold start), I would get on the road at about 0500. The only complaints I ever received were my neighbors being late because they used my car starting a gauge on whether they needed to get going or not.
