Gentlemen, these nitro vehicles get LOUD. You and I may like the noise, but I will wager that your neighbors don't enjoy it at all. They may tolerate it because you buy them beer or let them toke on your bong pipe.
I have some sound advice on keeping the peace with your neighbors. Here is a way to tone down the obnoxious noise levels a little. I have a T-Maxx with the Picco P2 .21 and the RD Logics pipe. This thing was so loud, I swear I was going to start wearing ear protection. Honestly, it was so bad I did not feel right running the truck in my neighborhood.
So I added a silicone exhaust deflector, plus a 4" piece of radiator overflow tubing onto that. I drilled some holes in the overflow tubing but they are hard to see in this photo. I secured the tubing to the frame with a couple of loose zip ties. The result is a much quieter truck and I didn't notice any power loss.
