Default pi$$3d off neighbors need exhaust help

I receive a letter from several of my neighbors. Wanting to quiet down my car. Well I've been planning to do this for awhile anyway. I need some opinions on my setup that would sound a little better and quieter. My setup of my car is in my sig. O need to know how much its going to cost as well.

Get rid of the loudmouth. Add a stock catback with an e-cutout.

I'm probably going to get electric cutout. But I don't know if stock exhaust will work for me

My magnaflow screams at WOT, but is quiet enough to where you can barely hear it at idle. I absolutely love it. It has a lifetime warranty too. I also have an electric cutout for when I want to be downright noisy, then flip a switch when I get into the neighborhood and no one even knows I came in!

Magnaflow FTW.

If you want extra, have a cutout installed. Manual works fine if you're not lazy.

SLP dual/dual is the best flowing quiet exhaust. If you are luck you might find someone to trade you for your LM.

I'm leaning toward magnaflow. How hard is it to use the manual cutout?

If the cutout is installed in the best orientation for ease, you can lay down and reach under to uncap it. Otherwise you'll have to jack it up to do it, but it's still easy.

I have Magnaflow catbacks in stock in you are interested.

If it bothers them make them all chip in and buy you a new exhaust.

I understand why the are angry. I have to go to work at 5 am. It scares them. But there not complaining about the harleys that startup every morning. But I do agree I need to quiet it down alittle. They say they can here me from the highway which is half a mile away. I let it idle all they way the highway. Before ever pressing the gas.

LOL. I like the way you think! On a similar topic, I'll never live in a neighborhood with an HOA.

They were there first. I've been here for 3 years. The people around me are all retired. Few houses up there are kids with hondas.
