Umm, my friendly neighbour and pub drinking pal says his wife complains when I start up even though she’s an early riser. She should worry. My youngest’s Corsa used to spit two foot long flames accompanied by popping and banging but he never did it outside our house. He used to reserve the performance for a neighbour round the corner until they called round to complain.
Our biggest problem at the mo is five cars including small white van(plus Exige in garage) in a cul de sac. Getting a bit crowded especially as chap opposite deliberately parks his Rover 200 heap directly opposite thus reducing width for other neighbours’ cars.
My advice is keep the bloody noise down!
Buy a Cockerell …
Give the killjoys something else to focus their attention on !!
I reckon most neighbour complaints stem from jealousy.
…
Failing that… offer to let them pay for a new exhaust for you 
My local friendly MOT man was stopped in his drift EVO for too much noise…got a fixed penalty…he has now fitted a CAT by-pass valve which is radio controlled from a button in the cockpit.
Open road its OPEN roar…in town its a quiet kitten.
Really good piece of kit.
BTW noise is now an MOT item…the noise police are everywhere.
I’m outa here VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOm.
Round here police don’t even stop cars with most lights out ??
Never mind measuring db …
I thought it had been there for a while - “Reason for Rejection - A silencer in such condition, or of such a type, that the noise emitted from the vehicle is clearly unreasonably above the level expected from a similar vehicle with a standard silencer in average condition.”
Answer to the original question is YES…mainly due to the lack of a cat.
surprisingly, i think the mirror post on seloc has got this bang on - it’s just really anti-social if you were to reverse the roles.
