Default How does driving with out vtec feel?

im asking this because i cant hear the vtec crossover on my car anymore,but here's the tricky part,the car feels the same no power loss,i did the oil change today and cleaned the vtec solenoid but i still cant hear it,all i hear is a rumble from the intake at high rpm.
so if some of you have had a motor that vtec didnt work on,please tell me if you felt a power loss or if it rev really slow. thanks

The power would die out shortly after 6000rpm..

obviously your old flexpipe had a whole in it which made the exhaust louder so you could hear it. now that you have a complete exhuast its quieter and you cant hear as much. i wouldnt worry bout it.

that was the most rediculous thing I have read all day. Not even the brain damaged guy at work said something as strange as that today; and he says some pretty messed up stuff.

i.e. "I'm colder than the blueberry climbing up the branch."
