Rep Power: 0 LMFAO, how old are you guys? Seriously... you can't make an SOHC VTEC loud. As in you can't make the pitch engagment loud. Yet alone you can barely even notice it engage... to be honest I don't. When my b20vtec engages "VTEC"(@6k) it sounds possibly 3times louder when it crosses over. What I'm thinking he did was floor the gas when he was just on it 3/4 way...

Rep Power: 0 take off your hood, valve covers, replace your intake with a piece of pipe, and cut your exhaust off right after the exhaust manifold, that will make your car nice and loud.
