Josh Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 All the neighbours by me are old and they just compliment the car and say it's beautiful. No one has ever moaned about the noise, but I'm very considerate when and how I drive around the area. Luckily there's some idiot with an Impreza that goes WOT down our road a few times every day, so that would take the heat off me anyhow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippyboyo1 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 what is the world coming to! id get a silencer and pull it out at the top of the street. ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Nope. Because it's an import? That's not important anyway, as a decatted NA with that exhaust would never pass a roadside noise test, so the exhaust can be deemed non road legal.

dan294 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 What's the noise limit then? My NA went around brands with no cats... 84dB on a road from what I can find..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 What's the noise limit then? My NA went around brands with no cats... No idea. It's generally around 92db on a track though IIRC. I've heard of the local police giving producers for loud exhausts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p1RATE Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Ive got a bung in mine and it made such a difference. I felt bad for the neighbors as i often get home at past 11pm so i try to be as quite as possible. Fortunately they are all quite nice so i doubt they would mind unless i was being really inconsiderate. Saying that im about to move so i can see this pissing some one off at some point.

kitch79 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Most of my neighbours are REALLY old as its a quiet estate and its a small close (think old folk feel safer ha) so cant go faster than 10mph anyhoo. Mines just stock so quiet as a mouse. BUT when I do go BPU and Blitz Nur Spec, I have a saving grace from the fact that the two oldies opposite are nearly deaf... annnnd, they have an old camper van they drive daily and takes them around 2 minutes to get off the drive, it must have a dodgy engine or exhaust as when they are moving, jeeees!! Its like 20 american choppers reving the nuts off altogether No ones complained about them 2 yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berg Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I wouldnt change it at all, its your car and its loud, thats life!

berg Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I agree as mine was when it was n/a, i used to leave the house at 6am aswell, my neighbours seem more interested in the car itself than complaining Maybe im an arse but if i was doing absolutely nothing wrong i wouldnt change my car to please any neighbours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Get an additional silencer welded into the mid pipe, this should reduce the noise level without effecting performance. I've recently done this on the Blitz NUR R on the MR2, I used a stainless steel Jetex silencer. http://www.jetex.co.uk/website/jetexcustomexhaustparts.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 A decatted N/A with a T.T. 3" straight through exhaust system is loud enough to make your fillings fall out. Maybe you need your hearing tested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Also looking into a bung as I think I'll be in the same boat as you shortly haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Don't rev it at night........try to keep the sound as quiet as possible.........don't wake the kids up..........but they should all get this in perspective..........and don't change the sound.........if anyone further complains. start a chainsaw up outside and trim a tree..............then shred the tree though gobbler..........and tip it on their lawn. Some people just love to complain. Tell em to go and live in the philipines. Come on aero, you live in somerset. Get the local farmers down with some seriously noisy kit....that will shut em up.
