i would like to know if there are any mods that i can add to my civic to increase the sound of the vtec? i drive a 2004 4dr si with a 1.7L sohc vtec motor.

the two mods that will increase sound would be an intake and and exhaust

Yup intake an exhaust. I'd go with intake before exhaust if you were to pick 1.

Intake for sure, makes the D17 sound mean.

They all sound nice. As far as the vtec sound, the D17 does'nt really have the roar of the dohc.

why is it that on a 2000 civic si the vtec sound comes out alot more, as for the engine the only difference is 1.6L and 1.7L both 127h.p

Not sure why the 6th and 7th gen civics sound so different. There are a few members in your area, search around for them and see if there are any close by you so you can here one in person. I dont think that you willl be disappointed, i think the D17 with a intake actually sounds pretty good.

The 2000 SI has like 160 hp and is DOHC. As for VTEC, the SI's are tuned for performance to a certain point. The d17 is more for good gas mileage and the economy. If you want the VTEC sound, sell the 7thgen and buy a 1999-2000 SI and that will get you the VTEC sound you are looking for. Also try a VTEC controller and just an intake with a RSX-S axle back put onto the stock piping.

I am not sure if any one has mentioned that the seventh gen civic did not come in a DOHC? Am I right on this one? I was pretty sure that the 6th gen did and the 7th gen did not. doms04si you should find out what VTEC they are running DOHC or SOHC.

By the way... I have the AEM V2 intake and it sounds mean. But it does not do much as far as gain. Sounding mean and being mean... Two different things.

The only DOHC on a 7thgen were the SI, and not the Canadian SIs, but the American version.

That is what I thought. The roar comes from the DOHC VTEC, not the SOHC VTEC.

hey guys my cousin owns the 2000 civic si coupe and its a sohc, its not an sir and his vtec kicks at 5500 when should mine kick and honestly im just looking for some crazy sound coming from the engine, no to much speed but more along the side of deep sound coming from the front end. i eventually want to drop the K-20, where can i get that AEm intake for a good price, Also my magnaflow exhaust is getting a little annoying what do u guys recomend i go with?
