Ok so I have a 95 accord ex I was wondering if there was any mods I can do To make the car sound very distinctive when vtec kick in.....I am going to get a pair of dc headers a new catalyic converter and a 2.5 inch exhaust pipe straight back to the rear end...co cat back .....will that be good enough......my friend has a 93 civic with a d15 turbo and a 2,5 inch exhaust pipe straight back to his exhaust and it sounds really nice.........would it sound identical with the f22 or no.....I just want it to be really loud but not sound gay


Suggestions would be appreciated

 

an h22

 

are you picking 2.5" piping because your friend has it on his turbo car? I would say that 2.5" is too big for your stock motor. you'll lose backpressure and you'll end up losing more power. A turbo car needs bigger exhaust so the turbo can spool up quickly and get the gases out faster.

 

He doesnt have the turbo on yet he has all the piping and everything of that sort but it sounds sweet.

 

SOHC isn't going to sound near as distinctive when VTEC kicks in.

 

Opening up the intake will do it. The changeover is pretty subtle on a SOHC, so don't make the exhaust too loud or you won't hear the intake. VTEC doesn't change the exhaust pitch nearly as much as the intake pitch.

im agreeing with this guy

 

So What would be the best intake I could purchase to make it louder?

 

any short ram would be good

 

before i clicked on this thread i was thinking h22. itll go "ehhhhEHHHHH!!!!" sorta sound lol

 

i can just imagin him


4k rpm... 6k...mmmmmbuaaaaaaaaa WTFBBQVTEC!!!!!

 

I put the AEM v2 on my 98 accord, f23 sohc vtec, it screams, if I'm not lazy I'll get a video up.

 

Yeah this might sound stupid to you guys but theres nothing I enjoy more than listening to a car wind out at high rpms.......id take that sound over the radio any day lol but yeah i just want my car to sound loud but awesome and people to know that im coming lol

 

intake. if yoou want best bang for buck get a ebay intake, ditch the filter, and slap on a quality filter such as K&N.

 

Weapon-R Secret Weapon Intake. Does wonders on my 97 accord. One of the best intakes on the market because of the inner runner in the pipe, its pretty damn loud too. Price is up there but it has been dynoed and proven to be a decent power giver for an intake.

buy a v8.

that said if you put an intake and a DECENT exhaust (magnaflow) on your accord it should sound pretty good. beware crappy ebay mufflers that will make your car sound like a bumblebee.

I'd say that's your best bet

 

just change ur cams my buddy did it on his b18 and its llittle louder then it use to be. i mean louder exhaust i guess

 

just put an intake on it... it will be louder.

 

I would think the only way to make the VTEC or intake sound louder would be to get a cam with a larger more aggressive intake lift/duration and get an oversized valve job done on your intake side of the head...$$$$$

or a short intake!

 

AEM SRI used.

 

you need to get a cam with a more agressive VTEC lobe.

Again, x2!


Besides those two things, the only other thing that you could do to be totally hardcore would be to install a bullhorn with a CB mic reciever and strap that onto your intake opening and have your ECU control the button on the CB to turn on at WOT!!! LOL

I think I'm gonna do this one, myself. Sheeeit, I'll even make a kit for those hadcore fools out there. The official "JDM Vtec Enhancement BULLHORN"
