I am curious as to the loudness of vtec on a gsr. I have a 96 gsr I/H/E/VAFC 112,xxxmi and when I hit vtec its pretty quiet. I met a couple of tuners the other day and we were chilling and what not one had a 99 Si and the other had a 99 gsr both had i/h/e and suspension. Riding in the Si vtec hit real loud almost like he had aftermarket cams in it but he didnt. also the gsr was louder than mine. How loud would those who have stock cams say their vtec is. just out of curisoty

 

If you get a single stage IM and and cams it will be quite loud. With stock cams the cross over is not that loud but when the butterflies open up you can hear a louder sound.

 

I have ITR cams in a GSR with a 4800RPM crossover. You can hear the cross over, but it is not loud.

 

i have a stock GSR.....with a magnaflow muffler....i have to turn off the radio...open the windows...and listen...and still i bearly hear it crossover! lol...thats not too loud at all!! my bro's d16 was louder!

 

i have a b16 w/ctr cams. the vtec rips! im not bullshitting either, even when it was stock you could really hear the crossover at 5.5

 

vtec was barely audible with my stock motor..
all i did was throw the sri on and it got pretty loud.. but only after the butterflies open up.

 

because of our dual stage manifold we can barely hear the crossover. If you disable the butterflies than it will be just as loud, but you wont have the low end torque which the long runner butterflies help with.

 

i run open header and that **** lets u knoe wen vtec hits trust me..

 

You... also go deaf after a while.

Yeah, no ****. I had to run open header for two months!! VTEC sure is loud, but it kills your ears, especially on a 7 hour trip up the interstate, cruising @ 5000 rpm the whole time.

 

on my stock b18c with intake and exhaust.........i can clealy hear vtec......its not loud but it not quiet eitherrrrrrr

What is that? a cutout of some sort? I love the way that WRX sounds!! I can't wait to get my '06 STi!!

 

It's a Electric Cut Out!!!...all you need to do is hit a switch and booomM!!! open headers :-D muahahah i love it!

 

From my old civic the vtec wasn't loud at all with the Gsr now my friends who have B16a when vtec kicks in its really loud

 

in my 94 gsr with i,h,e stock dual stage mani, at 4500 rpm my vtec kick in hella loud. the exhaust makes it louder. make sure ur floorin it all the way if u really want to hear it loud. and have a good amount of oil and warm engine
