My CP-E Exhaust and the Crazy Neighbor
So here is the story... This crazy bitch lives in my development and has complained about my exhaust......and called the police this morning! She is nuts, I have driven past her and she gives me the finger. My brother has an 06 Civic Si with exhaust and he drove by her while she was walking her "dog" and she followed him home and "inspected" his car and stared in the window of our house for a few minutes....again, she's nuts. She has yelled at other people because their dog pissed on a fence.....thats on the development property! not even her property! She's looking for things to bitch about.
Anyways, now that you have the back story, here is my dilemma...I leave my house at 6am every morning for work, sometimes I'm in a rush to catch the train...my dad called me this morning and said that the police came to the house and said there were complaints of speeding and loud exhaust...on a silver BMW (my car is space gray bitch! haha). My dad said, to the cop, who was really cool and nice, that it was probably one complaint and he knows who it is....how else would they know our house...he explained the situtaion and that this woman is crazy.. the cop said, i understand, but we now have to watch. So my question is, will a resonator work to quiet and settle down my exhaust a little? I have the CP-E full turboback exhaust......catless DPs and no resonator.....so it is loud The long story probably wasn't neccessary, but I had to vent |

Just let her be, my brother bought a bobcat and 30 dump truck loads of dirt and built a motocross track in part of my parents yard. He and his buddies ride during day light on 250 2-strokes. Everyone is fine but one and file complaints, police were cool and told them that as long as it is with in day hours then its fine. They just kept filing complaints and calling the police, what you should take away is to let them bitch and call the police, as long as you are respectful to them and she is not they will get tired of her very quickly and then you are in the clear.

kill her dog, cut the head off and put it on a stick on her front lawn
that should teach her but if you wanna get rid of the drone, why dont you check into CPE's stealth pipe? its free, you just pay for shipping back and fourth |

I would just take it easy in your car, let it warm up, take your time and take your chances if you run into a cop. Don't let her win she sounds like a pest.

How are the rest of your neighbors? Any complaints from them?
Don't let a single person ruin your day. If it's just her, next time she gives you the finger, just smile really big at her. Then when she looks surprised, shift to second, drop the clutch and VTAK it! Who knows...that sudden display of power and sheer testosterone might get her all wet inside. Then you will have made a new friend. They always say the crazy ones are the best in the sack...teeth in or out? J/k.

I used to deal with complaints from neighbors like this with my old car that was wayyyy louder than your car is and I have not even heard yours yet I told them sorry this is the way the car came.lol. The real deal is the police could come and inspect your car and site you for noise violations and smog equipment, but I doubt they will. Sorry you have to deal with that and hopefully the lady will die soon Ya I know that is harsh and I don't care. Crazy idiots need to go away. Maybe the police will come and she will go Ape shit on them and they will take her away to the Puzzle Factory in a straight jacket Next time she is on your property call the police on her for trespassing.

loud...that sucker is double the volume of the stocker...i no i had the full CP-E TBE with high flow Random Technology cat on my last car for 2+years... I LOVED IT 90% OF THE TIME BUT...there were times it was just TOOOOOO LOUD, especially first thing in the morning and late at night. I remember when it was just installed and the first start up was like.....Holy shit this is loud and them leaving the dealer a old Ferrari pulled up next to me and i could not refuse....
Putting the resonator on it will tame it down only a wee bit...but you should do it...,it will still be loud and at least you are compromising a little for your neighbors....plus having it without a cat is .....smelly and bothersome to many...i live out in the woods so was no bother to anyone....but when near a cop or in a congested area...i played it cool and respectful and did not hit on the car to impress anyone...sometimes having a loud exhaust and driving it mellow when needed goes a long way in the community you live...hit on it and make it roar will end up kicking you in ass and making you look like a bad ass....let the car rip and roar at the right time, at the right place and you will get lots of respect from all... |

I posted in the other cp-e thread too but the stealth pipe will make the exhaust quieter than the resonators will. I had the resonated cp-e exhaust on my car for over 20K miles and had the stealth pipe put on last week. I'm giving it a few days of driving so I can get a good feel for it before I post up a review. I'm also going to try to get someone else to drive the car so I can see what other people hear.

yes the stealth pipe will def quiet the exhaust down as well as taking care of the drone problem. it also serves as a third hanger for the people who had problems not lining up correctly

Should I do the resonator AND the stealth pipe? Or would just the stealth pipe be enough to quiet it down and reduce the drone? I don't want it too quiet. But I do think its too loud sometimes. I figure if I'm sending it back for either the stealth pipe or the resonator, I might as well send both to have the resonator and the stealth pipe added. I'm curious to know what it would sound like w both. I don't think it would be too quiet since I have catless downpipes. Right?
