Parking garages are the best. It's like they are winking at you. :cool:

Re: Set off 3 car alarms on my street last night!!! (eeeticket)
I run OPEN HOOKER Sidepipes (4 inch pipes) with no mufflers!!!!
I usually trigger all car alarms in the parking garage of my building. Even if I pass parked cars on narrow streets - their alarms go off! If I drive through a tunnel with full acceleration - people fear for their life!!! It sounds like a atomic bomb explosion!!!! I have driven so far approx. 18000 miles with open HOOKER Sidepipes (15000 with my 69 Convertible and 3000 with my Custom 68) and have never received any tickets regarding noise..... I think that I am lucky to live in South Florida! Cops are VERY liberal here when it comes to classic cars... never try producing this kind of noise with a late model car... you won't get far..

I don't think it is funny. If my wife or myself came out of work and found our batteries dead so someone could get a chuckly I wouldn't be laughing. Grow up.

Gotta agree with Norvalwilhelm on this.... This is just teeny-bopper games, what's the point - to get a good laff at someone else's expense. Bet you wouldn't be laffing if someone thought it was funny to soap up all your Corvette's windows (harmless, right?).
Next thing you know, the city will be passing another law about "excessive loud exhaust" and it will be pointed directly at the hot-rod guys because some little ole lady complained about all the noise and the fact that her car alarm keeps going off when you drive by.
And this is about as light as it will get. LOL

Re: Set off 3 car alarms on my street last night!!! (Alwyn678)
I haven't been in any parking garages since I installed my Hooker headers and sidepipes with JCL stainless steel baffles. However, I once took the baffles out and ran open 4" pipes on the street. It was extremely loud to say the least. It sounded like a dragster, but would give me a headache after about an hour of driving, not to mention I had to let off the gas every time a cop went by in opposite traffic. It was an interesting ride. Everyone would roll up their windows as I approached and passed. My friend even went by in his 1969 Camaro pulling 6000 rpm with his 396 equiped with Flowmaster 40's and I didn't even hear him.

Re: Set off 3 car alarms on my street last night!!! (Alwyn678)
Ok Alwyn678 here you go...... driving down the street is one thing, but some of these posts sound like the prepubescent kids around here that think it's a big laugh to go around the neighborhood at night ringing doorbells, setting off car alarms, and soaping car windows. It's calmed down a bit since one of the "gang" slipped and fell while running away and broke his arm. Boy, did he whine like a baby when he had to face the cops and his parents. Turns out all that innocent fun cost him some of his precious weekend time because he had to do community service in the area. Now that was a real laugh!
The poster that thinks driving up and down the parking garage setting off alarms after he's been warned to stop is either telling a BS story or just plain childish, maybe both. Guess those people (in the garage area) will praise that loud exhaust and forever think of modified cars as real assets to their community. Right?
I've got nothing against headers, sidepipes, or loud exhaust - within reason. But this world is getting too crowded to be able to do whatever you want anymore without thinking of the backlash we are causing.
I've been involved with customizing and hot-rodding for 40+ years and if you think this is all innocent fun and that nothing will come of it, then you are sadly mistaken. It's just this kind of irresponsible behavior that causes the local lawmakers to put another "anti-modification" law on the books. I sure as hell do not want my car to sound like a Buick. Nor do I want the hassle of getting an inspection to check for noise levels because someone complained about hearing a car driving around town with open headers.
So lighten up yourselves and act like responsible adults.

I seem to have struck a fine balance with my side pipes. The have a deep rumble that isn't obnoxious, but it will occasionally either set of an alarm, or they'll just do a series of quick "beeps", like they're talking to each other! We have more trouble with kids "setting" (i.e. playing with) their alarms in this area :mad , than loud exhausts. Personally, since audible alarms are universally ignored, I would go with some sort of disabling or paging system.
