Technically speaking it is, its just not allowed over 98d/b i think, maybe 96, something like that. Thats like comparing the standard noise of a yaris to a lambo LP640, one can be noisier than the other.

Rep to the OP for actually acknowledging there is a problem, and for wanting to find a solution to it.
Do you have any other mods?
If you can, try to minimise the noise as you approach the house, turn off the stereo, I assume you don't bounce off the limiter all the time, drive slowly and keep the revs right down.
Why not talk to Ashley? Do they have any noise parameters published?
If you are really concerned, why not ask your local council or VOSA for advice?

is it a straight through system?
I once got a loud/raspy systems noise altered by putting in what was known as a booster. Effectively it was just a smaller version of a silencer. But it made the world of difference.

Can you go to a local Exhaust place and ask them if they can make you a Removeable Baffle?

I wouldn't let myself be inconvenienced by neighbours TBH.
I'd just go out and buy them all ear defenders and tell them to like it or lump it.
I've got similar probs. Where my garage is located, is right in the middle of a group of houses that are all occupied by old people. And when I turn up at 2-3am in the morning or leave for work at 7am, they get annoyed.
I even had a note left on one of my cars when I worked in Halfords (back in the day)
Its the type of cars I drive, sorry. Just cos I choose not to drive a standard Vauxhall Agila with 13" wheel trims etc, doesn't mean they can tell me what to do ! lol
