I live in apts. Thinking about TDs I already have the X pipe thats 3" to 2.5" from Dr. Gas. Im about to order the ST this week. Do you'll think neighboors would complaint on me? Cuz i still have about.... 8 months left in my lease.
i have just a loudmouth catback and when i lived in a house my neighbors all hated me 
true duals with LT's are f*ckin loud...you might want to get some decent mufflers if you go with that setup.

they are supposedly pretty loud, if you have **** neighbors you might have issues. The less time you allow the car to idle near their house the better, so if you can start it up then drive it away slowly almost immediately they are less likely to get upset and call the cops. If you let it sit idling every morning for 15 minutes they may take issue

Also I havent had my car since i moved here, so all of the sudden im going to show up with a loud *** car. There's a couple of vettes here but they're stock. I'm buying an SLP Dual/Dual from a member here just in case i have problems with the cops or the apts

Mine aren't terribly loud (2.5" diameter, bullet mufflers) and my neighbors hated me when I first moved in. Now what I do is I don't let the car sit there idling in the mornings anymore, instead I start it up and leave slowly, then let it idle a bit once I'm outside my enighborhood (the traffic light leaving my apt complex takes forever anyways). Neighbors stopped bothering me once I started doing that (or maybe they just learned to liek it, who knows). Point is, like mentioned above, if you have **** neighbors you may run into trouble, especially if you have a choppy cam.
look into putting some Jet Hot Cats inside the pipe. They really arent much of a cat but they do an excellent job quieting it down. That combined with some sort of muffler should make it bearable for them

and here i thought the point of TD's was to be LOUD..??? well although i may have been clueless to that at the time, on a serious note i live in a highly **** residential neighborhood with setup in sig and I even live next to a state cop and i leave each morning at 6 sharp and i havent ever hada problem and believe me i dont leave quietly either....whats the fun in that

If you're still on the stock cam, I don't think you'll **** a lot of people off leaving it idling for a bit. Just keep it under 2k rpm when you leave. Now if you have a decent cam in there.....people is gonna bitch 
My neighbors moght not like it a whole lot, but no one has said anything so far (they either own harleys, or have teens with a liking for loud music) I don't bitch about their noise, they don't bitch about mine, of course I don't go out of my way to make alot of noise, I keep the idling time to a minimum, and don't hot rod thru the neighborhood
My neighbors at my apartment complex definatly don't like my duals. Before I got the cam tuned I had to let it sit and warm all the way up so it wouldn't die trying to leave the lot, not fun . ... Now I just idle out of the parking lot, and baby it down the road till she warms up.
