Why does the exhaust growl more aggressively for the first few minutes after starting

RN SHARK · 12-16-2013, 02:54 PM

I got up and at 'em early Saturday morning to go to Cars and Coffee, started my Z to let it warm up. Set off the alarm on my SRT. My next door neighbors came out yelling at me, saying they were going to call the cops for a noise complaint or some nonsense. They asked if I could make the Z quieter, and I said Sure, but I'm not going to. They said I should not be allowed to start my car before 8am. I only drive it like 2-3 times/month. I guess it's loud. Stupid headers.

My 240Z is significantly louder than my 370. Sometimes I take my 240Z to the airport and park it there for a day or two when I travel. Driving it in the garage at low RPM makes various car alarms "chirp". If I rev it, I set some of them off.
