So I finally get it running...

You guys must have hella loud cars.

Or some super intolerable, complain-about-everything neighbors. Even with just a downpipe, I could barely hear my DSM idling inside my house 20 feet away. "blasted out of bed" by a super low pitched engine, that could easily be confused for a passing lorry, is a bit absurd.

Please, 99% of all modded DSM's I've seen are loud, especially to someone that doesn't give a crap about cars. I'm embarrassed by how loud mine is and I'm very careful about even pulling out of my driveway to keep it as quiet as possible until I get around to putting another muffler on it. At an apartment, I'd be a little less concerned since apartments are always going to be loud and you get what you get. But you'll do the car community a great service by not being one of those jackasses who purposely try to piss people off with your car. Put yourself in someone else's shoes for a change.

LOL, mine got louder after hollowing the cat and I can still have a conversation behind it at normal volume. Sure, you can hear it coming down the street, but if that's enough to get you out of bed, you're a light sleeper, and they make things called ear plugs and white noise machines that solve that problem.

People are dumb.

^Your normal conversation level is probably most people yelling thru a megaphone!! lol

I always had Apexi N1s on my DSMs. But i would always make sure that i didn't start her up late at night. I had one person complain but it was because i had Project2g over one day and he was revving or idling. The sound travels with the low rumbles. And the person just took me aside and asked if i could keep it down.
The problem is that Low Frequencies travel better than the higher frequencies. So the low bass of the exhaust is going to annoy the fuck out of people. If you can't keep your car quiet, put in the silencer.

Is it me or is anyone else really turned on by this gif. "Ohhhhhhh prah."

I used to not care about loud cars and stuff. But now that I have a baby, I get really annoyed if some jerk with a loud stereo or exhaust has to sit and rev their engine or crank their stereo when they come into the neighborhood late at night or very early in the morning. Especially if it wakes her up and she gets cranky from it. Those with kids will understand what I'm saying about wanting to keep it peaceful when the baby finally goes to sleep.

Well the best part is that the car has literally been idling in and out of the lot, besides a quick blip of the throttle to get the car moving. It is an outside lot with the garages far away from the apartment. It sounds kind of like Mark's car, it has the same exhaust setup as his does I think. I am just waking up each day for work at 5:30 and definitely not outside trying to launch shop rags out of my exhaust. I don't care to be disturbed sometimes, so I try to be as polite as possible when I am working on the car in my garage, etc. I will be tuning the car *if nothing else breaks in a few days* hopefully Friday and we will see how it does. I want my pics to be followed by dyno charts and timeslips lol. I know I don't really have a season left, but it would be cool to cruise around tuned! That reminds me, where is everyone getting their e98?? I have just been using e85 for the time being.

I get e100 from iowa. my buddies dad blends it down to e90 for his drag car. If I knew you needed some I could of had him save some for you. He gets it for free from some guy that owns a place in iowa that makes flex fuel.

[turbotalon1g]
