By-laws typically permit the board to make "rules" which only require board vote. I would agree that if it takes an owner vote it's on consent of all owners, but almost every by-law has a clause to let the board make rules.

Home owners associations typically have less impressive by-laws than condos and what not since they are nonsense and usually only incorporated for a very limited specific purpose.

Not according to the HOA's I have been on. Must have 100% of home/lot owners to agree according to the restrictions. I agree with this. We all agreed to these covenants when we purchased the property. We should all agree to amend them. Not just a few board members.

People are always going to complain about something your vehicle is your possession these people are probably the same kind of people who complain about what color your mailbox is good luck in resolving the issue with your neighbor that's why I love the country

I swear I love how people in this thread are plain silly! I mean I love how people just think everything we do should just be about not affecting someone else. I hate baggy cloths so should everyone at a mall dress differently????? Cmon it is his car...it is his property. If there are NO sound ordnances in his area tell the guy/gal to get over it and move on. People do stuff I am sure we find rude and disrespectful doesn't mean they should change.

And to the guy calling everyone a narcissistic and a teenager because we want a car that actually makes noise go and get bent. That is beyond the stupidest thing I have read in awhile, Or to the other person bringing up the amount we paid for the vehicles. It is OUR property OUR vehicle. People ride RZRs up and down my street all the time that is annoying, leaving and going to work and not hearing it for more than a min is on the point of you have nothing else to complain about.

For everyone complaining I am sure if u send the OP a PM and get his info u can pay his vehicle payment and than choose his exhaust for him.

Brother as stated before if there are no sound ordnances in your area or for your complex just don't worry about it enjoy you vehicle. If they damage your vehicle put motion cams in the vehicle and keep the exhaust they will do it again and have them on cam. A friend of mine used deer cams one time to catch someone vandalizing his vehicle nothing like showing up with proof what u did to the person.

there is nothing obnoxious about corsa... :tsk:

I just put a set on my GT. Only noisy with start up and hard acceleration. Driving normally they are surprisingly quiet. One thing I have learned in 53 years of life. You can never make everyone happy. Do your best not to offend people but understand you will. And when they are unreasonable continue with what makes you happy and don't look back.

That's not what's happening here, though. It's a cold start, not an open header bike.

If you have to exaggerate this to make a point you are simply making a bad point. Hell, why not compare it to a jet engine taking off?

What is "too" loud is different to everyone. If you think your exhaust isn't obnoxious, but your neighbors do, then I guess they are wrong. Now if I come to your window with my open header bike and I don't think it's obnoxious, but you do, then I guess your wrong.

See how that works? It's not an exaggeration, it's putting things in perspective. Your "mild" muffler delete could be as annoying to some people as an open header v-twin would be to you.

Do what you want. Fortunately I live in an area where people are respectful of those around us... one upside to gentrification I suppose.

Holy shit, I'm glad some of y'all aren't my neighbors!

I am firmly NOT in the camp of those saying to just fuggem. You have to live near these people; think of their own feelings and then their perceptions of you. You're not building any bridges by aggravating them, and may cause quite a bit of hostility.

See if there's some way that you can park away from windows with your exhaust facing the opposite direction of the doors/windows of your neighbors. Start the car only when necessary and try to idle out without adding gas if possible until you're out of earshot. As a last resort you may need to think about exhaust modifiation to cut down noise.

But really, don't be a selfish asshole.

I do my best to enter, and exit my neighborhood as quietly as possible. But if complaints were to come.. sorry... I refuse to alter my exhaust to suit someone else.

The OP is not running "open headers" by his neighbors window. And he said a neighbor (singular) left him a note. Respectful? Like your "Don't be a f*g" cartoon implying people who modify their Mustangs exhaust are f*gs. (rolls eyes)

I actually thought that too, but resisted posting. Thanks

Couldn't have said it any better than this... :amen:

It is absolutely an exaggeration. Not only did you, objectively speaking, go with a much louder example you also included a purposeful intent to annoy (you mentioned revving).

I could understand your point if someone had suggested there were no limits at all to sound annoyances and that was your rebuttal. But I don't recall that point being made so there is no need to go to an extreme.

As far as seeing how subjectivity works, what about a woman leaving her house with her face, legs, and shoulders showing? If she thinks the amount of skin showing isn't inappropriate, but some neighbors do, I guess their wrong. Now if those same neighbors stripped down naked and rubbed their privates all over her window, and she thought that was inappropriate but they didn't, then I guess she would be wrong. I'm not exaggerating, I'm just explaining how subjectivity works...

It's all in how you look at it. Despite my allergies I respect other people enough not to ask them stop to wear perfume or cologne around me despite the watery eyes and sneezes that follow. According to how you view respect perhaps I should ask them to stop and if they don't passive aggressively imply that their being disrespectful and there the ones with the issue...
