Neither of my mustangs were ever really loud but never had any problems. Even when I lived in denton with 2 other mustangs with exhaust. Plus I have always gotten off work at about 2 or 3am.

i live on a street with lifted truck and loud ass exhausts so i dont expect anyone would complain to me, although i dont rev down my street either.

the only person that ever says anything to me is my aunt and uncle across the street, they always say they can hear when i come and go if they are home.

oh well, that'll stop soon once i get the GT500s sitting in my storage unit on!!

sucks your fiance has a problem with it...my wife didnt like how loud mine was when i was running cat deletes and muffler deletes but only brought it up once so i know how that goes...

My wife's almost the opposite, the louder it is the more she wants to drive it. Unless it's ricer loud, she hates that shit more than I do.

Oh, she likes being in the car and riding around in it. It being loud when we're driving isn't the issue. She also claims my car wakes her up and shakes the glass in the shower at 6:00 in the morning when I leave.

You said your wife had a problem with cat and muffler deletes...lol. That's why I'm having complaints.

My neigbors call me the weather man, they know its going to be nice outside if they hear my car at 5 in the morning.

My exhaust is MBRP's catted race exhaust, its pretty much 1 7/8 headers with catted 3" straight pipes, loud isn't even accurate.

Dark Pony has pretty much the same exhaust except his is custom made and it has no cat's.

Okay, if it is that loud, I can understand why people are complaining. That is abit ridiculous and don't know why you would want it that loud. It's a daily driver and not a race car.

Again, it's a daily, not a race car. No need for it to be THAT loud. If there is multiple people complaining, there just might be something to it.

Dark Pony 01-13-2013 12:54 PM

Multiple people, being one neighbor and my fiancé. I think I'm alright for now. Yes, it is a daily, not a race car. I don't treat it like a race car. The beautiful thing about everyone's cars, is that we all have different tastes and different opinions. I'll stick with mine for now.

I'm running kooks LT's, catted H and Borla Touring (I had the S-type). I keep my garage door shut when I fire her up for any cold start then let the RPM's drop before I open up the garage door. I then do my best job at trying to creep out the neighborhood after that. They really have no clue as to how loud the car can really be. There are a couple trucks on my street that are as loud if not louder, thank goodness.

Luke 01-13-2013 01:12 PM

Dark Pony, it's a daily, not a race car! :beatdeadhorse5: I know what you're saying though, my car is pretty loud in parts of the house when I start it in the garage. I do my best to not annoy the neighbors.

nice!!

my wife doesnt like the attention she gets from guys when she drove it so loud. she said it embarassed her...lol.

i'm having her take the car to a local shop this week to take off the muffler deletes and install the GT500 mufflers i have in storage. should be much better for her now...although she wont be driving much since she has her own car now!!!!

My car isn't "loud" by any means, it only has the hushpower alxe back and cat deletes so it's pretty mild, but when I start it cold it's, by far, the loudest car I've ever had. I believe you 100%, these things are crazy loud when they are started cold.

noob here, jw...sorry about the threadjack.......that is one nice damn car in Performance White :rocking: I am looking around for a new one with Recaros as well.......to replace my 2012 or I just keep this one and mod the hell out of it. :Caffeine:


back on exhaust subject...my car is stock now but I do have a magnaflow x pipe and a full stainless system in the box.......not installed.....I would use restraint to avoid any confrontations with the neighbors. :)
