Re: vtec not noticable?

pathetic that vtec is only noticeable by a slight change in the sound.

like I said, look around for what cams are out there- that should beef it up.

Re: vtec not noticable?

Why is that pathetic?

The transition is smooth by design. You'll only likely hear a noticable sound difference if you have an aftermarket air intake. Otherwise the OEM intake sound resonator will muffle it.
