Someone round the back of us had an Imprezza , with a bazooka exhaust. I think they got complaints and they used to drive in and out their drive many times in an evening and sure that something was said, to then see it had disappeared. They never sell their cars, so was odd. They have big race motorbikes with open cans now , but they go out and come back hours later. I dont mind, as they just go passed the house and off. Winter defrost with a scoob would probably drive people nuts.
Its no more unsociable having a westie than a bike on an early morning sunday run, which is pretty frequent round here and being I live near the A4 , the blats are heard at the weekend. I usually start my westie , run for 30 secs and then go. If Omex had mapped it properly when cold, I would start it and drive straight off, as I prefer getting up to temp quickly and off cold enrichment.
Guy down the other end of the street has a new M4 with aftermarket exhaust and on cold start has made complaints there as it sounds really stroppy when cold
