First noise complaint...

[Dark Pony]

The lady two houses down decides to come over and ask me to quit revving my engine...First off, I don't rev my engine at home. I have a bit more respect for my neighbors than that. I do apologize that my car idles at a high rpm when it's cold, but that's only temporary. "Well can you keep it down?!" Yes, as soon as you find a muzzle, let me know...

Exactly. As long as you aren't being an asshole driving high RPM down the street then she needs to mind her own damn business. I creep through our neighborhood keeping it down on purpose but there is still one guy down the street who sits outside to smoke who likes to complain about the noise level of my Stangs and my neighbors two V6 Camaros that sound like Hondas.

I guess I am lucky, my neighbors at my apartments are really cool about it. They know that I try to keep it as quiet as possible when I have the 'stang. I think it helps that I know all of them and chat with them regularly.

noob here, jw...sorry about the threadjack.......that is one nice damn car in Performance White 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.


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.

yeah........we are in the process of getting all the parts to just make the rear end 2013/GT500 quad exhaust.....I actually like the 2012 front better...but I like the 2013 rear design better, the tails, lighting system currently used by Ford......

pics in due time.....

Are you talking about putting the 13 rear on the 12 you have? If so I don't think that swap is easy if it is possible. You'd need taillights, whole rear bumper and to make it look right the painted side skirts. That's if it's actually posssible.
If you really want the quad tips magnaflow makes a axle back that has quad tips and comes with a template to cut the rear of the 12 but I think it looks like crap.

Didn't you custom build the loudest exhaust you could for your car?

I custom built my exhaust, yes. But, to be the loudest I could make it, no...lol. Secondly, the lady that came over to bitch at me, has a son that owns a 4.6 and a G35...

To be fair, your exhaust is pretty loud man.

smart lady.

As loud as my old 01 gt was I never got a complaint from any of my neighbors. I had a guy bitch at an intersection once but that was it.

[merlinmol]

I almost forgot, when I first got back from Vegas/SEMA I brought the car to the office and gave some rides. The first was my boss and I went WOT which pretty much sounds like a race car. When I went to take one of my friends out on the 2nd ride we had a police car follow us the entire trip. He stopped once we got back to the office and said they had complaints. Instead of telling me to not run it hard he asked that I take it to the highway next time .... he must have liked the car.

I don't understand how this can happen, I moved here from Iowa and it seems like every pick-up truck here has loud aftermarket exhausts. You guys must have bone shaking exhausts!
