I haven't yet with the Cummins, but the Mrs. did with my previous truck, 95 ram gasser with a cat back. She took it to work one day, and the vehicle parked diagonal from her went off when she started the ram to leave.

For someone who didn't care for the sound of my cat back, she found alot of humor in that.

Soon after getting the Cummins, I backed in under the carport and as I walked in she was staring at me.

"You couldn't hear the truck, could you" I asked.

"The kitchen and living room were shaking" was the response.

parking Garage at the Arizona Diamondbacks baseball game with my old 01 and straight pipe, floored it through the garage and set off a ton, it was great. I remember starting it next to a porsche and the people inside the car jumping that was a fun night. I couldnt scare a bird with this car...My dad wont put an exhaust on his truck. -.-

Yup, I set them off all the time with both my vehicles. Straight piped Cummins and a Jeep with just a glasspack dumping out the bottom. Actually, I set off the alarm on my OWN truck today with the Jeep

If only I could fit into more parking garages around here

At my old apt complex with the parking garage, there was a guy that would dust/wash his BMW every day (don't think he had anything else to do). His neighbor had a Mercedes, both with alarms. If I just eased into the garage, I'd get a warning tone from each of them. All I had to do was tap the loud pedal and I'd have both of them screaming. Eventually a flyer was sent around the complex informing all residents that if they needed to take care of their "overly sensitive" car alarms that were disturbing the peace, otherwise they would have to take some action.
