Anyone else have this happen to them? I'm only running the Intimidator and HFC's. Though it was a very cold start.

It happened to me for the first time ever two weeks ago. I found it odd...then again, I did let the car rip just as I was passing by the parked car. =)

I set off my neighbors police car driving by in my 240. Red top SR with a full JIC TI exhaust and test pipe. The EVO2 on the Z sounds like a gay mans fart so it's safe to say I didn't have to worry about setting any alarms off with that unless I got HFC's or TP's.

my car is not extremely loud, stock headers and cats, magnaflow 3" dual exit.. it set one car alarm off, though I think it was just a case of it being overly sensitive.
