The problem sounds like your neighbors are old.

If they call the cops, the cops are going to be pissed that they have to come all the way out there, so you'll probably end up with some tickets.

Also, you will be "marked" as that bastard street racer kid with the neighborhood cops, and they'll be watching you like a hawk to bust you while driving.

Yeah it sucks, I dealt with the same problem in the past. It doesn't pay to **** off people so close to home.

Ok I'm confused I went to Summit and this is what I saw.

Is this one of those baffles that you guys are talking about?

Do these only work on Apexi mufflers?

I have a MagnaFlow not sure which model or size tip but pretty big. I'm guessng a 4" x 14" round, just by looking at there pictures, could be 3 1/2".

I would imagine those are only for N1s, though you could probably mount them into whatever had a similar size and shape opening.

Just tell your neighbours to stuff it.

It it's too loud,you're too old.

Tell them to turn their hearing aids down.

Yea dudes..some neighbors suck!!!!!!

I had that problem with my neighbor who just moved to our block when i rebuilt my bP motor and had to start it with oil.
He jumped his fence and started talking @#$%&$ and threatening my brother-in law and me on a nice Sunday morning.

I had my garage open and pulled a 6-foot pipe. Then he went home and called the cops... (Note I am only 150lbs 5-7 he is 200lbs 6.0) So I said ok I will put the pipe down and we can throw hands like real men (I was really pissed) but he kept quiet. Then the cops show up and he started up again...That’s being a strait *****!!! Then he started talking trash bout how he was from the projects in NYC bla bla bla...(note I live in the subs) Then I told him its not were your from but where your at bro!!!..

He didn’t realize that Hispanics stick together so when he saw all my brothers, sisters, dad and even mom come out the house he bolted....
After that he never said a word. Though I still dislike him because he mouthed off to my dad. But you pay for everything you do on this earth so I am not worried.!!!!!!!

Its funny how old people forget that they were once young and wild.... They want everybody to stay inside with play-station, play sports, be quiet, have perfect grass, white picketed fence etc!! Then they wonder why our kids have no street smarts and are all overweight!! Then when they get out they resort to drugs and alcohol.

You guys are terrible! Quiet those machines down and join the human race.

And a father who encourages noisy confrontation oughta be fined. My son-in-law played music too loud in a nice condo I was renting him (at a large discount) so I told him to throttle it or get thrown out. What's wrong with headphones?

It doesn't 'suck', it's normal society and proper use of the environment you share with others.

I got lucky with the noise, the guy to the left has a truck 350 engine with flowmasters, have to hear him every morning.
Guy to right like to keep his stereo up real loud for about 5 minutes AFTER he pulls in the driveway.

So I couldnt see anyone complaining about noise any time soon.

I think the point being made by most of these posts is that neighbors that whine are hypocrites. "Oh that car is too loud, but my Harley is fine!" or "I don't like noise, but its ok for me to leave a pile of dog crap on your front yard." Given a choice, I doubt folks like YapaKanichi or Goopy would live in suburban neigborhoods full of whiners. Its like the people who got an airport near where I grew up shut down, they said it was too loud. Or my neighbor who doesn't like all the cars in our front yard. I doubt any one of these people would like it if I came in and complained about Fido, or their god-awful yellow house, or their nasty smoking heap of a VW Microbus. Long winded, so whats the point? I get no respect so don't expect any respect from me.

And who said those Hardley Ablesons could run around with open exhausts? When did we vote THAT one in? I'm fedup with the flatulant blats of my neighbors Hardley!

And leaf blowers! Who said they're OK. All they do is blow leaves from neighbor A to neighbor B, and then the next one blows from B to A!

Our new gardener showed up in a red mustang with a dual hose blower (one each for left and right!) and I fired him on the spot.

I live with a bunch of yuppies man are you kidding me. Neighbors on left, weird....lol.....cult people. Don't like women that wear pants or shorts cause they believe they should be in skirts. oh my god. And dude my other neighbor, well shes cool. lol She's deaf basicly and has altiemers we think. Across the street, people who live in the 70s........eehhh. And I live around a small little lake. So my neighbors here me when I drive around it lol. I live in a neighborhood full of whiners. If I'm at the community pool all the old people give me nasty looks and persist I'm a troublemaker. It's funny. I love when my brother comes home with his loud *** mustang, beats ferraris. It's crazy. And when my friends come over that are still into hondas. Loud mufflers. All dude it's kinda funny at times to watch the old people. AND YOU OTHERS ARE WRONG. SOCIETY? Let me tell you something about society. Society wakes up at 4:00 A.M. in my neighborhood to walk their dogs and give me nasty looks when I wave to EVERYONE. I'm the nicest person in my neighborhood. I'm the most understanding person ever. When someone gives me a nasty look and threatens that they're going to call the cops on me, well, they're jsut yuppies with they're Bmws and Mercedes......town and Cournty..........Lincolns......Yuppies. So don't yoiu tell me what society is. I deal with more crap from a lot of people just cause they want to look better so don't try that with me. And CarlRx7 I'm south of Daytona. And yes the Hardleys do suck. Too loud and they get away with i but teens and Adults driving a car with an exhaust don't, screw that. I deal with that crap twice a year. THERE!
