GD Fun Police are giving me fits.
EPA noise complaints on my 6.2L Chev powered Holden VE Ute (El Camino type pick-up)
About 95 db as it sits.
So now I must correct it before Warnings turn into Fines.
Waiting for what can be done without puting a Silencer onnit!!!!
 
I had a resonator which I put on my 70 chev p/u running no muffler . Both exhaust manifolds into one pipe with no muffler sounded like a big radial engine. I found a "resonator", about 18 inches long, with no baffles but internal louvers, clamped it on (under driver's seat) and it became amazingly quiet. I think it was used on convertables (drop heads) to allow people to talk.
 
Local news story about soldiers being spat upon and cursed by a pair of female scum [due to restrictions I will not discuss their ethnicity or political affiliation] which angered me to no end. I've had family and friends die in service to our nation and such disrespect for our service members makes me want to use their heads like soft balls.
 
So as a result of the above, Fun Police, I spent another 900 on a whole new exhaust system.
2-1/2" instead of 3" which gives a louder resanance equaling complaints to the EPA.
Quieter now, still throaty, but still can't believe there is actually a place to complain about car noise.
Feckin slugs, need a hobby!
 
Unfortunately, we have professional complainers in this country as well. I used to live next door to one. Thanks to hurricane Katrina, I've moved.

I think you should rent a small heard of Howler Monkeys, leave them at the house and go on vacation.
 
Damned cat just cost me a $450 vet bill for a giant abscess on its head. Not counting the follow up appointment.
Do you know how many books I could have got for that?
 
2 hours to drive home, ice and snow covered driveway when I got there. Could not get car up the hilly driveway, spun u-turn (not on purpose) near top of slippery driveway, piled front end of car into mound of snow at bottom of driveway. Spent hour digging it free, most of which was spent cussing every swear work I know, plus a few I made up along the way. Finally got it un-stuck and then had to shovel the driveway as it was too slippery to even think of using the snow blower (with my luck I would have fell, slid past the blower and gotten run over and ground to bits). Fell 2 times and hit on left hip both times even though I was wearing cleats on my boots.
Hip and back are barking at me this morning and I still have a 1/2 inch of ice on the driveway.
