Temporary Ways to reduce exhaust noise?

I live in an apartment building with an underground garage, after I installed my invidia N1, everytime I start my car someone's car alarm goes off. 50% of the times I get home someone's car alarm goes off when I'm parking. and this is with the silencers installed.

FYI about the silencers: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh3J8r-IgpM"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh3J8r-IgpM[/ame]

Just like the guy in the video, the car makes a lot more noise during cold starts. Nonetheless, the car still starts up car alarms when I get home.

The silencers do their job but it isn't enough. I'm asking on ways to reduce noise while the car is in the garage, and then I could remove it exiting the parking lot.

While the engine noise is great, and I love my exhaust, nothing really prepared me for this sort of problem (most reviews say it's loud, I just didn´t expect it to be this much)

I don't want the homeowners association to start troubling me about my car noise, particularly when I get home late or wake up extra early.
