This is crazy! my brother had this happen to him with his cobra. He drives the speed limit even a tad under, this one women comes out screaming to slow down and what not! The thing is the soccer moms in their mini vans need to slow the F down!!! they are always blazing bye at least going 30+ in a 25mph speed limit around the neighberhood. Its the loud deep muscle car exhaust that thinks you are ripping through the hood.

most of the time, but when you start driving around the muffled ninja's and other type of sport bikes, all you can hear is their motor, not very loud when you have the windows rolled up and bumping. but driveing around a harley, fkk you feel them hoes!

Go to walmart, and pick up a value pack of cheap ear plugs, and then pick up a nicer set <2$.
Go to the neighborhood rep or whatever and give him the value pack, tell him to give a set of earplugs to whoever bitches about your car from there on out.
Then, give him the nicer set so that he can't hear the people bitching anymore.

If you get the neighbor on your side and assure her that you won't speed and will keep RPM's low until you leave the area then she might drop her complaint.
If you just had a car with a loudmouth or GMMG on it then I'd say "**** them" too. But your car is illegal. 110% in violation of a federal law (no cats)as well as probably breaking local sound ordinances (decibal levels). If you push back too hard you might find your car being inspected and fined. Not to mention that you could be forced to move (which might not be the worst thing). I've heard horror stories of people being fined $2000 per cat that was missing. Since I got my LT's and ORY I have treaded very lightly with my neighbors. But then again, I also have a house that has plenty of land between my driveway and my neighbors.
This is just my .02 so take it for what it's worth. Good luck to you sir and I hope this all works out for you.

I've lived in my neighborhood for about 5 years and my neighbors range from mid 20s up to about 80s. We all talk to each other and help each other out...I roll out my 80 year old neighbors trash can once a week and she really appreciates it.
They all comment about how loud my car is in a joking manner...so I know it is on their minds. But I have never gotten a complaint about it.
The neighbor two streets over likes it because it helps her get up in the morning.

". To give them credit though, no matter how careful I was, it would make people's alarms go off, and that wasn't a good thing at night (true duals with bullet mufflers is what I have).I didn't really have much of a choice since I was a renter there, and I stopped driving that car and had to drive my other one. And like Darren says, your exhaust system is violating federal emissions law, and if a cop or someone comes over and checks it, you will more than likely be found guilty.
Yeah, so try to get on the good side of your neighbors. Restricted neighborhoods suck big time also with things like these. Thankfully, at my parent's house where the car is parked now (which is a restricted community), our neighbors actually come over and ask us to rev the engine whenever we are working on it
Good luck man.

Personally a open pipe harley annoys the sh** out of me, but like most people on here i guess im kinda partial to loud V8's.
