Default B18C gsr suddenly kicks vtec at 4500rpm

I have a jdm honda integra 1996 SiR-G RHD from japan and the car is perfect. I've put a complete catback 2.5inch mandrel bent on the car and all of a sudden the vtec kicks in at 4500rpm. There is no cel on and the car runs strong, but the only thing I have noticed is that the vtec kicks in too early (4500 rpm) I have disconnected the ecu and connected it back, but it's still the same.
Can somebody tell me why is he doing that and how can I fix that?
Thanks.

uh, i believe vtec is always supposed to kick in at 4500 rpm on a stock gsr. Every stock ecu GSR i have ever driven, which is allot, has always kicked in at 4500 rpm, i think with the exhaust, your just able to hear it allot more and possibly feel it more. I wouldn't be worried.

I agree, 4500 is stock. You have nothing to worry about...

Do not post information that you do not know. The P72 ECU VTEC point is lower than most.

Stock P72 ECU VTEC is 4400 RPM. The IAB opens at ~5750 RPM.

Yes there is and it is 4400 RPM. Unlike you, what I am posting is a fact. There is no doubt, question, or ambiguity about this information.

It was going to be plan as day to me he was posting BS...just the fact alone that he spelled VTEC with an H on the end in his first reply was enough to make me want to spit in his face.
