Default Intake sound diff. b/w LX and EX(5th gen)

i heard that accords with the f22b1(vtec) motor have a better intake sound in the higher rpms b/c of the vtec engagement(it gets louder). on the other hand, the lx is not as great. is this true? i have the f22b1 with in an intake and i know it gets loud, but does the lx sound like this too or is it quieter?


just wondering...

I havent heard a 5th gen EX with an intake but the 5th gen LX with intake isnt very loud at all. My civic HX got louder than it did.
