    Bingo! I was about to say if you want to get back at your neighbors get a Harley. They won't write you a ticket for it. Since people cannot SEE motorcycles we have to make sure you hear us.

    no they don't... they may not have to have cat converters and other emissions stuff, but they still technically should remain below a certain acceptable dB level to be considered "legal".

    in your case it sounds more like one of your neighbors has it out for you.

    They're all rednecks at heart and wish they could have a Harley, hell every police cruiser bike in this country is a Harley . . .

    What exhaust do you have on your car? I've never had problems with my APS, but its a pretty quiet exhaust and I've got the grocery wagon which flies right under their radar.

    I have the Blitz Nur Spec-R. Its pretty loud compared to the rest of them. One of the loudest out of the most popular ones. Still its a clean, deep sound...


    And yes, as someone pointed it out to me, my neighbor does have it out for me. Its an older couple with no kids. The first day I moved into the house, I had my integra parked in the center of the culdesac since the uhaul took up the whole driveway. Cars could EASILY go around my integra and it was not in the way. I was next to my car for a moment when the lady walked directly up to me, the first thing she said was "You don't plan to continue parking your car here do you? You'd better not. I've lived here for blah blah blah blah..." She didn't even bother to introduce herself. I have never spoken to her since. She calls the cops EVERY time i have people over. She calls the cops on a couple other neighbors too... Mostly me though. Once she did it 3 times in one night when we were not being excessively loud...
