I took the baffles off my boss on day one. It's not overly loud until you really put your foot down. A guy that lives down the street from me has a GT350, and it's the same way. This dude must live next to some real touchy folks to call the cops.
It's not an automatic setting. It's a Manual setting you can mess with at any point.Society has become way to sensitive to just about everything.
Now we're hushing V8s so neighbors won't get annoyed.
I could understand running open headers down main street being a bit much, but hearing a throaty V8 will always put a smile on this face.
Reason #147 not to buy a mustang.

Also nice Group B Mustang profile pic
Reason #1 to Jwalk... at least 500ft from an intersection.I don't like cars that don't make sound because you no idea if a car is coming unless you see it first.
I know what planes, trains and automobiles sound like. Can you tell the differences in my gun calibres?Society has become way to sensitive to just about everything.

Or, the neighbors could grow up and not harass their neighbors for having different tastes than them.
Some places have noise ordinances, like where I live there is a 24/7 one, but they only enforce it if they get a complaint. It is annoying that people waste resources like the police on such trivial things, especially when the appropiate (and non-cowardly) way to deal with this is go to your neighbor and ask them kindly to try to keep it down. Calling the cops like that is like kids who run to Mommy/Daddy every time some other kid does something they don't like instead of just working it out for themselves.Or, the neighbors could grow up and not harass their neighbors for having different tastes than them. You aren't harmed by a little noise for a few seconds. If somebody is working on their car at 5am and constantly revving the engine over and over then maybe you have something to complain about. Just idling a car for a minute, backing up to turn around and then driving away is perfectly acceptable even if it's a little loud.
I can't imagine the police would actually cite somebody for something like that unless the car had no muffler or some other problem.
