They probably do have noise laws, most places do. Most places also require a baffled exhaust system. We do all have to live together. You will eventually get tired of all that noise. We used to make our cars noisey to be cool and turn the girl's heads. Not sure if that is still the reason to have a noisey vehicle or not.I don’t live in an hoa but my neighbor about a house down probably wishes so. I always park on the side of my house, been doing that for 4 years no and I’ve never had an issue. Well when I first got the truck it wasn’t a big deal because it was stock and had stock exhaust. Now it’s a little different. The lady followed me to my work one morning, at 5:30 am to tell me that she’s going to call the police if I let it idle next to my house in the mornings or if drive past her house.
now I make sure that i shift right in front of her house and at a higher rate of speed…

my ignorance is hanging out.

I agree, but my truck is really not that loud. Her husband drives a 5.7 dodge 1500 and it’s much louder than mine.They probably do have noise laws, most places do.

Some people say backpressure is a myth but it wasn't with that. I was able to city drive it to a muffler shop but it was loud as hell and lacked power.
There's some truth to that, as it's not so much pressure, but velocity. You don't want backpressure in any exhaust system. But the engine requires the exhaust to leave out of some sort of pipe, and that it maintains velocity in the pipe to create a vacuum in the combustion chamber during valve overlap for scavenging. Running no pipe isn't good, running too big of a pipe isn't good, and any pressure in the pipe isn't good either.
More then likely blowing the muffler actually caused backpressure in the system, either by baffles blocking flow, or the exhaust gasses in the muffler becoming turbulent creating the back pressure. And that backpressure was the cause of the loss of power.
That HAS to look horrible. Once again I have to wonder what type of chemicals that the installer was on while doing the installation. Or even dreaming this one up for that matter.My son just picked up an 01 24 valve Cummins Dodge, and the PO, put in a “stack”. The “stack” is a 55 gallon drum with a 4” or so pipe sticking about 3 or 4 inches into the drum. The top is cut out of the drum, and this truck will smoke like a freight train if you get on it.
Yes it looks horrible..... he saw the novelty in it for about a week... then he started planning the fix.....That HAS to look horrible. Once again I have to wonder what type of chemicals that the installer was on while doing the installation. Or even dreaming this one up for that matter.
