What a wonderful sound, haha.

On the 05 EX, your VTEC kicks in at 4500 rpms. Without at least an intake, it's almost impossible to hear the exact moment of changeover on a D17. If you drove an LX versus an EX back to back, you'd probabaly feel the difference in top end.
now is that nessasairly a bad thing? or does it matter?

Oh yeah and I forgot to mention I looked up vtec stuff and people said vtec on dohcs start at 5500rpm. Why does mine start at 5000?
Theres actually a window between 5300-5500 rpms where vtec may kick in. Depending on how much throttle your giving it. But over 5500 it will crossover no matter what.
