An idiot moved in up the road and he has a very obnoxiously loud ford ranger. He drives by my house four to five times a day. I can hear his vehicle from at least a half mile away. I do not enjoy his stupidity.

I want to share the experience with him. I have a Chevy silverado (six cylinder) with a factory exhaust. Is there anything I can attach to the exhaust tip tip be rude? I would want to remove it after driving by this guys house so something that could be easily swapped would be great. I live rural so nobody else would be affected by the noise; I want to attach it before I leave the house and remove it after I drive by this idiots house.

BTW- I am not the only one that noticed this guy's stupidity. Two of my neighbors up the road in the other direction have brought up this idiots truck unsolicited in casual conversations.

Stop playing mas macho with a nutjob which could escalate in to a fatal shooting. Just call the cops.

Install an exhaust cutout with a remote switch. It will allow you to dump exhaust gasses directly out and bypass the muffler and cats depending on where you install it.

1) The cops would not respond to a loud exhaust complaint here.
2) He is not a not job, just an idiot.
3) I am not "Playing mas macho", I just want to let him enjoy what he is inflicting on his neighbors.
4) Did did anyone mention firearms?

Probably good advice. It gets to me though that I know every time this idiot leaves his trailer. I am 300 yards off the road and can still hear him when I'm inside the house. Yes, it is that loud.

Being a Ford Ranger it just has to sound terrible.

Something like this for your truck would be perfect.

Install a PA system in your truck and blast Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, or the Barney "I Love you" song! Guaranteed to drive him nuts! LOL!
