Sorry, I have no real idea. I mean, how do you know it's not making a difference? If the system's engaging, unless there's a serious problem with your head (the one on your engine of course) it'll work.

VTEC isn't like turning on NOS, though . It's not like it's going to surge and throw you back into your seat...

Because my friend has a same car, but he got filter and exhaust, his car feel a lot quicker.
0-60 mine 8.9, his 7.7.
huge difference!!!

What raeneshadow said. How do you know its not working? When did you get the car/engine? Here's something for you to try:
unhook the plug from the vtec solenoid, and THEN drive the car. drive around the neighborhood like this, and then hook it back up and try it again. We need more info on your car...
