if i have itr cams and a skunk2 mani then technically vtec should be just as loud right?

i know it shouldnt matter how loud vtec is but i just have a thing for it, everytime i hear it a fall in love all over again

 

btw i have itr cams in my gsr and my timing was fucked up but vtec was wicked loud...

but now the timing is correct everything i wayyy smoother and vtec is a lot more subtle(which i know is good) but im just curious why it would sound "less aggressive"


yes i am a rice boy at heart

 

Yes it should. I hope you have an intake if you want it to be loud.

 

if you want to hear your vtec kick in just get a short ram intake including the itr cams and the skunk2 manifold.

 

actually when i had my aem cai it was louder...i have a short ram with some crap filter on for winter now

 

Phew...I thought you were gonna ask about vtec lights...

buckshot, can you post an enlarged photo of your avatar? she looks sweet

 

Yeah, there's a website that features that girl somewhere. I think it's some dude's girlfriend from a BMW message forum...

 

I wonder why that would be....? Longer tube = lower frequency resonant point. So, I wonder if it seems louder because it produces a lower tone.

 

It could be the material that AEM uses.

 

True. It's a relatively thin piece of aluminum that would be prone to vibration. Organ pipes are made of sturdier stuff than that, and they make a lot of noise...

 

shes known as bwm chick...there was just a thread about her in members corner, but you can no longer see it

 

yea that sounds about right...it def had a lower tone..it was great

well i was messin with my vtec point today and i raised it to 5k...it sounds a lot better, but the only prob is its not as smooth as before ( i had it at 4800)

think i should keep it at 4800 or 5k?

 

Whatever keeps the power delivery the smoothest. You'll get better acceleration that way. Get it on a dyno, I'd say.
