neighbors giving me mean looks - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #8010 32 posts Started by aznpnoy12
well im my celica i have a magnaflow exhaust, 3" piping, and a free flow cat. nautrally my car gets really loud, especially around 2000 to 2500 rpm. i've noticed though that my neighbors give me really mean looks whenever i drive down the street, and i have to drive all the way down the street because i live in the court at the end. has anyone been through the same problems?

Whenever I hear exhaust, I go towards a window to see what kind of car it is. >wink.gif> I could imagine old people getting angry and annoyed though.

New Toyota project coming soon...
I live in an apartment complex and there are more than enough loud exhausts. The ones that are cool about it I don't really mind, but there are some that will sit and rev/peel out all hours of the night.
The Greddy I have isn't too loud, but I still try to keep it quiet at night(staying in certain rpm ranges...).

I gave up looking out the window, half the damn time its a 89 accord with a tin can exhaust. Some times its a treat like a 300z but those times are few and far in between.
Around my house we got this 35 year old guy who has two Eclipses that are the exact same color and have the exact same mods(Stupid tail lights and Giant Exaust Canister), I think he gets drunk or just is an a$$hole and he Drives up and down the street at 2 in the morning every other day.

One of old friends had a 92 Prelude...and his two best friends had 00 Cougar and 95 civic...all with exhuasts., They'd rip through the neighborhood at 2 or 3 am after coming from downtown. Lots of neighbors complained. Mine only complained when my supra exhuast was off for a week in the summer. lol. Wow loud...

and yeah, I look everytime I hear loud exhuast...and if I just hear it ahead of me....I'll try and pass peopel to see what it is. It's like an obsessive compulsive disorder...i gotta see what car it is or it bugs me.

WHY THE HELL DO YOU HAVE 3 INCH PIPING!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

jesus christ, i have a turbo on my car and i only have 2.5 inch piping with a stock cat, your high flow cat probably adds to the noise polution.

hows the loss of low end power feel?

i would be extremely pissed if you drove up my street on your way home every day.

i would walk up to you and ask you silence your exhaust, and if you didnt do anything to quiet it, i would file a complaint.

i always keep my car under 3500 RPMs in the neighborhood, nothing worse than being woken up by some kid driving home. my friends on the other hand always rev it up when they get a certain distance from my house, so i hear them about 3 minutes before they pull down the street. i just roll my eyes like, thanks for the warning your almost here lol

When I here exhausts I can pretty much tell what kind of car its coming from, even down to integra or civic, eclipse or 300zx... So if its a honda, I dont usually look out the window, anything else I do.

And, My apartment is right next to a street and it pisses me off when people with an exhaust coming racing down the street in the middle of the night.
right in front of my house there is a nice be pothole that has made many of low riding cars around me lose there mufflers..lol... but i never mind here loud exhuast systems... there are a lot of other things in this world that piss me off... but if you really want to get dirty looks from your neighbors drive down in GSXR600 with a dual custom pipes and see the dirty looks you get .. some even thow water ballons..

When Im driving I always shift around 2.5rpms, saves gas and, wear and tear. I honestly dont see how 3" piping gets you more power top end or otherwise? With the st engine as is I dont think the stock exhaust would be restrictive period. I may be wrong but I know even people with engines pumping out 200hp only need 2.5".
wow, 2500rpms?? dont you bog like mad?? my car isnt happy anything less than 3k, must be the clutch/flywheel combo... >confused.gif>

3 inch piping you probably are actually loosing power all over the powerband on a stock 1.8L

yea, i kinda feel sorry for my neighbors cause sometimes i have to rev the engine a lot when i turn it on...has something to do w/some sensor, at least that's what somebody told me. i need to get it fixed...anyways, it's loud and sometimes early in the morning lol.
yea, i hate to be woke up to that damn ricey muffler sound. might as well have a loudspeaker on ur car to drown out the exhaust noise with the lyrics "rice rice baby"

haha i always look whenever i hear exhausts...

...unfortunately more often then not theyre civics. then i just shake my head and wonder why...
I have an Auto with the Greedy SP, no big deal keepin it quiet. But when its pumping out 5k rpm's it sounds soo nice...not the ricey sound but a solid growl.
I really hate hearing the loud mufflers and the muscle cars pass my house; especially, at night when I'm trying to sleep. I have a Greddy Sp exhaust system installed, it makes my car sound like it has 300hps, but it gets annoying. I want to sell it for $250.

Anybody want to buy my greddy sp exhaust system?
