PoLL: Do you set off car alarms???

my neighbor to have her alarm adjusted because of my rm headers and exhaust
I have a pretty loud exhuast on my S from Spugen and i don't even have to rev, and alarms bleep all the time and sometimes go off. Kind of funny. A bit too sensitive don't you think??
Yes, happens often in my underground garage !
I get alot of alarm bleeps in parking garages. If I give the car a little gas it will set them off. One guy swore up and down that I bumped his car.

I used to set off every alarm with my 300ZX w/B&B Triflo.
I guess the ARC on my NSX is not loud enough.

I don't know why you would want to set off peoples car alarms. That would just be really annoying IMO.
I'll set off alarms > 1/2 a block away

we don't "want" to, but the fact that we drive normally and it starts setting off people's alarms makes ME say, man...they need to adjust that. If it gets set off, oh well. Call it the child in me if you will...we all revert back to childhood/simplistic joys.

I heard you blasting in the Hotel parking lot from NSXPO all the way here in Houston!!! Not literally, but I 'heard' about it!
I recall being woken up by the exhausts at NSXPO at 6 am!
OK Kool so its not just me .. on my car now I have Comptech headers to Gerry Johnson custom turbo piping to a 6" Magnaflow cansister and thats it! So it gets them a lot is all i can say . . I guess its called sympathetic vibration, theres a little shock box with kind of a tuning fork inside these car alarms, at the right pitch it makes them vibrate and they just go off . . .
In my NSX? Never.
In my Cuda? All the time.
Ideally, both of my play cars would be as quiet as an electric car. When a car is quiet, you can accelerate as quickly as you want without anyone (anyone out of eyeshot, anyway) being aware of your presence. It is also a demonstration of respect for my community. I HATE hearing Harleys/buzz-bombs/etc. blasting around at night when I'm trying to sleep.

I WANT!!!!
I WANT!!!!
It happened only twice, funny that it happened the first day I bought my current NSX: I was scared that it would have happened every morning...

Rather immature / childish in my book. Now before you blast me, let's turn the tables.
You are very keen on the safety of your NSX, as you should be. A coworker or friend tells you that your alarm is going off. You quickly drop what you are doing, run out to the parking garage, only to see a ricer (similar age as you) or Harley-Davidson rider having blipped the throttle to set your alarm off. How would you feel?

Hi
Never happend. I can not get my NSX into the parking garage at the mall so that is maybe why I never set off any alarms.
