    Noise Complaints

    I had a neighbor down the road who called the police on me last week claiming that my car is 'too loud' and that i 'race' thru the neighborhood ... keep in mind i couldn't go SLOWER through my neighborhood. My only thought is either they like to lie - or they just 'HEAR' the car and assume the...

    Hah - I actually was in Florida last month on 'spring break' (26 still living like i'm 21 when i can) and I'm a yank ... it was 4AM and these two girls i had met at the club I was walking back to my hotel .... when out of nowhere a chrome bentley rolled up and a guy gets out and says "Wow - you...

    A month in with my Ferrari 458 Short review and comparison to my previous beloved GTS

    Absolutely stunning car, I always felt ferrari and red went together ..... this color combo you have is beautiful. Loved the write-up, I would say you certainly made the right choice! I hope to keep the GTS but add something similar to the garage in the next 1-2 years. I was originally looking...

    My new (to me) Maserati Granturismo S

    Thank you! :) Smitten is the perfect word to describe my current feelings towards this car. In some states we do not - unfortunately, though, in my state it is required (and the tint i have on here will likely have to be removed to not get ticketed constantly. The state I purchased the car...

    My new (to me) Maserati Granturismo S

    So I finally found the car I have been searching for a few weeks ago - I was pretty particular on wanting black on black with red stitching on the interior. Also wanted the red brake calipers, and the 20" rims. Snatched up this 2009 4.7 S a few weeks ago and it arrived this weekend. Couldn't be...

    4.2 vs 4.7 exhaust ... is an x-pipe even remotely satisfying sound wise on a 4.2

    They claimed it was the battery being low from sitting - and charged it up and sent me photos of the dash without the light on - so i am assuming either that switch is shorting out and being dodgy - or they were correct on the battery (time will tell). Regardless - funds have been sent and...

    Hello Rosie 2

    Beautiful car - great choice. Love that color combo. As for the bike - I am a kawi guy, too. I am a die hard widowmaker fan (gen 1 zx10r's) - currently have a red one. Used to have a blue one. Beautiful choice

    4.2 vs 4.7 exhaust ... is an x-pipe even remotely satisfying sound wise on a 4.2

    .... so got the PPI done - only a few little things .... some leather on the interior is cracked, buttons on dash are cracked (usual for maserati's i believe) ... and it needs an alignment ... the only troubling one .... the passenger airbag light is on on the dash - the dealership is claiming...

    4.2 vs 4.7 exhaust ... is an x-pipe even remotely satisfying sound wise on a 4.2

    The area i am buying it from has been having severe flooding, tornados, and 80MPH winds ... So the PPI at the Maserati dealership had to be put off until Friday ... The wait is killing me. If it all checks out I than have to wait 5-10 days longer for shipping. ... Patience is sadly not a...

    Here she is - hoping to have the PPI done tomorrow or Wednesday and the. Just a matter of seeing how long shipping will take. (Not very I hope!)

    Yessir, I just loved this forum and how active it is and how fun you guys seemed so I hoped you all would be alright with a yank on here - haha well, I am originally from Canada - so it isn't SO bad.

    Haha I'm a *******. Just finalized on one! Put my deposit down and paying cash when I fly out later this week :) I'm excited!!! Ended up deciding on a 2009 4.7s auto with 20k miles black on black with the red stitching on the interior seats. Love how it looks. This week is going to be a long one...

    4.2 vs 4.7 exhaust ... is an x-pipe even remotely satisfying sound wise on a 4.2

    Haha thattt loud, Eh?! It's such a beautiful note it deserves to be heard. My neighbors can't hate me anymore than they already do as is ... My sports bike has just a straight pipe. Talk about loud. My twin turbo'd 350z's exhaust is obnoxious, too. I DD a Lexus ls460l, though, and it is quite...

    Rivarama - thank you so much. Incredibly informative and helpful! Assuming the car in your photo under your name is your new GT - if so, it looks beautiful. It appears I am either going with a black on black 4.7s .... or a 2013 MC strasdale that is blue. Depending upon what I can agree upon with...

    4.2 vs 4.7 exhaust ... is an x-pipe even remotely satisfying sound wise on a 4.2

    So the 4.7 GTS auto with quad pipes is 100% valved? I was almost certain of this - but I kept getting conflicting information from people and have not sadly been able to view one in person (closest one for sale is a few hour drive - and not one i would have any interest in purchasing). Assuming...

    4.2 vs 4.7 exhaust ... is an x-pipe even remotely satisfying sound wise on a 4.2

    I believe (in the states anyway) the 2009 4.7s auto is valved despite being the quad tipped exhaust. Not sure if the quad tips makes the exhaust quieter than a valved oval tip - I would do the golf tee mod on it. I know specs are a bit different on this side of the pond (or so I believe?)

    4.2 vs 4.7 exhaust ... is an x-pipe even remotely satisfying sound wise on a 4.2

    Sadly I am in the states - this forum is just so much more lively and welcoming. I did - I am driving myself nuts deciding and I want to purchase something in the next week or two. Is your 4.2 auto exhaust fully stock as is? I reckon I would do the x pipe and than potentially switch it out for...
