I tried searching but i didnt find anything on it. my question is why is vtec louder on a civic Si than on a gs-r???? my friend just has intake and exhaust and his is way!! louder compared to mine which has intake and skunk2 intake manifold and stock exhaust. like when his vtec engages it jsut screams. ANd on mine i can just hear a slight difference and it pulls harder too but i doesnt sound that loud. When i race him it sounds like mine doesnt even engage.
thanks again .

 

= / itd be a concern if your car was slower than his...but just sound??? = / thats the least of the worries...

 

probably the exhaust tone when vtec engages makes u think it's the vtec that's louder

 

age.. engine wear.. i've never noticed a difference..

exactly what I was thinking when I started reading it... The exhaust makes it way way louder, and since yours is stock exhaust, thats probably why yours isnt as loud.

First thing i though, but i could be wrong. Do the Civic SI's have a higher profile on their cams? OTher than that i don't really know.

be happy that yours is not as loud... what you should be worried about is if he is faster than you...

 

its because of the single stage manifold
itr, lude, Si all have single stage manifolds and they are louder than the gsr, iv been in all three cars

yes, ive been in cars with b16as, b16bs, and h22s and they are loud as **** when vtec engages. do the ctrs have dual stage IMs? my friend has one in his EK, and when vtec engages at like 5300, of course its louder, but at 7000 it pulls like twice as hard.

 

i have a stock exhaust system with the cat removed. and just the stock muffler on there. he has an exhaust system i dont know which one.

 

Edited for me being a dumbass and being tired.

i know the tranny freaks everybody out lol. but the car was turboed before hence the "LS tranny" but im going to swap it out for a gs-r tranny when i get money. the b16 is too high in the rpm range when cruising in my opinion

it has gearing similar to that of a USDM Type R tranny...so if youd buy a Type R tranny...see no reason not to buy a b16

your VTEC should pop just as loud as his with that single stage manifold.

 

yea .. your vtec should be jus as loud as his with your upgraded IM .. i think its jus that he got his exhaust system because when i opened up the axle back on my stock gsr .. vtec engages very loud
