I just got home and one of my neighbours, who i have never seen before, ran over to the car and said...."when will you get that bloody exhaust fixed?" "surely it should not be that loud I don't like it!!!"

To which I just laughed and walked into the house, so, any ideas on how to make it even louder just for him!!!!!!!

Admittedly decatting has made it louder but everyone else seems to love it

Just make sure you give it a bit of a rev every time you leave or arrive home wink

Buy a TVR and watch his suffering.

Even with a stainless pipe and decat your Eunos shouldn't be loud enough to piss off neighbours surely!!

I admit it is loud but not excessively so. A friend has a Monaro VXR 500, which is incredibly loud and my neighbour has never once commented on that. Just think he was having a bad day.....tho I am def saving for a TVR, that should piss him off enough!!

I've got a decat on an otherwise stock system - to be fair it is pretty raspy.

Still not as annoying as the boys up the road who have just graduated from skateboards to mopeds...

He's lucky he doesn't live next door to me. A Ducati with Termignoni pipes at 6 O'Clock on a Sunday morning would really annoy him!

Unless you have no pipes at all, I've never heard an mx-5 that I consider to be obnoxious.

Don't really know what his problem was, the car although loud, isnt chavy but a nice deep rumble, with the odd pop pop on the over run......Borrowing the Cobra sounds like a good idea to me!!!
