EDIT: you have a d17a2 right? Its a SOHC and you wont be able to hear it as much as a DOHC like in that video, but just listen to your engine around 5400 RPMs, there should be a different pitch around there. You might not rev your engine that high off, so give that engine hell and see what happens

Damn how does that vtec sound change so much? Is that acuras vtec much better then a civic or prelude? Maybe its just cause the hood is up and its being heard from outside the car.

Have you heard a prelude's vtec crossover? It sounds sexier than a B-series crossover.

And Acura's vtec is louder because Integras have B-series engines, which are twin-cam, as opposed to our single cams. The crossover is a lot louder on twin cams than it is singles.

It's cool... but I like the sound of secondaries opening on an Edelbrock Performer Carb sitting on top of an Edelbrock'd AMC V8 even better.

Plus, you don't have to wait for the RPMs to come up first.

(Jeeps can be very surprising)
