I remember at a meet, this guy with an AEM CAI was next to my car with an AEM CAI. He was wondering why my EX was louder than his EX when we've got the same engine mods. Every car is different I guess.
If you want loud, take off your exhaust. That **** is stupid loud. The difference is night and day.
Or better yet, get a DOHC. Not only are they louder but they sound twice more pleasant than a D17A2 SOHC VTEC. Even the EP3s with intakes without the agressive VTEC crossover sound better than D17A2s. Turn into a compulsive money saver if you have to.

We have single cams, rsx's have dual, having an extra cam also helps out in the sound. I guarantee if we had DOHC we would be almost as loud as an RSX. Someone please correct me if I am wrong............yes....no?
