Exhaust vs Alarms - United Bimmer Community

**Rooz** · 03-16-2006, 10:03 PM

For some reason I keep on setting people's alarms off when I drive by in parking lots...

I tend to set off at least 1 a day at school and sometimes 1-2 at work, but it's not like if I try to do it, I mean I drive slow in parking lots and probably never do anyhting over 2k..... And it's not like it's always aftermarket alarms either..

Anyone else have this issue?

When I had my System U i set off alarms constantly... lol

The supersprint is pretty tame.

wow. thats sad, funny, and cool at the same time.

That's because most people don't know how to properly calibrate their alarms. Rooz- anytime you set one off, leave a business card so they can come in for an alarm tuneup

=/, my gutted out stock exhaust does this sometimes.

My sportster used to do this as well. alarms are just too sensitive. But that's why people ignore them.

I know of a VW with a DTM tipped exhaust that set em off. It was a really deep tone so the acustic vibration may have caused it. I dunno,

Hahahaha, thats awsome! What a badass car

Not being a dick, but alot of ricers have that effect in the parking deck at my school. Plus since it's a big hollow building, that shit echos. Annoying really.

I wonder how the track pipes will affect that

**///M Power** · 03-18-2006, 07:11 PM

Dont drive udner 2k rpms. Your car is droning and I don't know why you didn't realize you'e probably rollign in higher gears and low rpms pushing the throttle mroe than it should.

**Rooz** · 03-18-2006, 07:14 PM

so what should I do drive at 4k plus in a parking lot?

**///M Power** · 03-19-2006, 09:33 PM

2-3k. Drive normally.

Actually I jsut realized you have an automatic. I used ot have that deep toen problemw ith my stock e34 exhaust + auto. No joke it was pretty loud in garages.
