Dear lord. If you want a loud car, get a header/exhaust/intake and straight pipe. Have fun riding around in your stunna mobile trying to impress all of the "bystandards" with your car that probally makes more noise than power.

i can't even hear vtec on my d16z6, even with short intake and G-Spec full catback exhaust. Get a B-Series and it should be noticeable.
