Even more reason to have a loud car,My car is catless and even if I turn off sport mode before starting, it’s not quiet with start up roar. I live in a nice area of Chicago and my detached garage is right next to my rich neighbor’s bedroom in their huge, historic house on our quiet street. We don’t all live Down Under, Phil ?
Listen, I’m already the redneck of the neighborhood. Also, that’s exactly what Crocodile Dundee would say…Even more reason to have a loud car,

I've got a few neighbors with loud exhausts. Everyone is pretty cool if you're just starting the car and leaving. Not revving it just to make noise, etc. Even my wife and kids rarely notice when I take it to work. Might not be as bad as you thinkYup. same issue, I like to go for drives early morning before my kids wake up and since getting a downpipe I might have to leave the car parked down the street so I don't wake everybody up when I leave... I thought this would be a pretty simple thing to do, no roar and no high idle when cold...
I hope you are right, I have to back in my Supra into the garage so I can open my door and park pretty close to the wall, we'll see how my kids handle it this weekend when I go out for my usual early morning cruiseI've got a few neighbors with loud exhausts.

Yeah I don’t think my kid would be the one to complain my car is loud, but my wife on the other hand, when he is up way too early on a Saturday morning! ?
What I love (and learned) about kids, they will get used to whatever you and your wife get use to. Especially if mom and dad are happy.
Funny side note I heard from a good friend long long ago. Used it ever since. When his kids would complain about something they don’t have, that the Jones’s do, he’d remind them they had unlimited food, shelter & love. Most of my kid‘s friend’s parents would get that priority equation reversed and let the kids run the roost ?. Loose sight on how the kids got there in the 1st place. Not that that is you. But it’s a slippery slope once you do.
I still think of to this day, despite paying extra for a theme park character dinner or you name it, what my kids remember most is riding in a golf cart to go get mom coffee every morning. Her appreciating it, telling me & the kids thanks for getting it. Just seeing mom and dad happy. I’m like, what about all that money I spent dammit!! ?
