Before replacing my exhaust I used to do this (activating alarms via my
exhaust) daily in the Pk lot at school and I always got some twisted
pleasure out of it. Now it still happens but unfortunately not nearly as
often. Any speculation as to why my (our) B(s) and no other car I've ever
driven (loud or quiet) does this? Could it be because the B is one of the
only cars without a big bend in the pipe to go over the rear axle, giving it
higher exhaust velocity and thus creating more pressure?
