I had a z6 in my auto civ coupe. I couldnt even hear it engage and i had a full intake exhaust- stock header- and msd. How will it do when i drop one into my hatch? 5 speed dc header full exhaust. Is there anyway i can make it louder like with an aem v2 or somethin? just wonderin cause im a vtec nut

Calesta · 10-04-2004, 01:08 AM

Short ram intake, get a VTEC controller and set your VTEC crossover to 6500rpm or something. It'll really scream then, and you'll be really really slow.

beerbongskickass · 10-04-2004, 02:47 PM

Swap in a B16 if you want to hear vtec scream.

dohcvtec_accord · 10-04-2004, 02:58 PM

Single-cam VTEC doesn't scream, sorry. It exists more for fuel economy than it does for performance.

Slammed90Lude · 10-04-2004, 03:04 PM

i'm tired of hearing people say their vtec isn't loud enough- christ it's not a noise maker it's a method of increasing power

it you want funny noises coming from your car have a friend sit in the passenger seat and make blow off valve noises between shifts

my stock gsr rarely had a scream, but it sure does haul ass though. then it really screamed after i put in my cams and an upgraded ecu. and it hauls more ass now. it's all about power, not sound.

cycloneb18c3 · 10-05-2004, 12:16 AM

B16 with a built head, with PYR race spec cams, and an open header is the loudest vtec you can get, I know, Im now part deaf........

Bl6CRX · 10-05-2004, 12:58 AM

somebody should call the dumbass who invented the turbo/blow off valve noise simulator--Vtec noise maker is right up his alley

cycloneb18c3 · 10-05-2004, 01:00 AM

ROFL!!!!!!!
even have it have the RPM adjustment for around 5500....lol.....

Hmmm I should look into that... the guy that made the fake BOV thing is surely making a killing off of it...

My z6 is at LEAST as loud as a b16's.

StealthMode · 10-11-2004, 11:52 AM

i've been told on numerous occasions that my crossover is as loud as a B16. i'm not saying it as fast as one, by all means, but about as loud as one.

Quoted post

Whoever told you that is wrong. I have owned a built Z6, a built B18c, and now I own a stock B16. My STOCK B16 is twice as loud as both of my other motors. There is just something about when a B16 hits VTEC.... it's just really loud.

micah · 10-11-2004, 12:23 PM

yeah i love it

throw a i/h/e on a b16 and it makes it even louder :P
seems like my motor gets twice as loud when vtec hits, its noticeable to say the least

Calesta · 10-11-2004, 03:42 PM

Well, the B blocks DO switch lobes on BOTH cams, not just the intake like the SOHC D series. That makes a huge difference, especially if you're running aftermarket exhaust. The steady drone of a D series exhaust will overpower any sound you get from the intake side of the engine when VTEC kicks in- with the B, you hear it from both ends.

sorry but I'm raising the flag on that one

a friend of mine let me ride in his STOCK Type R with just a SRI and the changeover is was fuckin violent(at least it was then, was only the second time I'd heard VTEC). I bought his b16 that was in my 4 door thinking it was going to be kinda the same...It was not even close.
