how lound is your engine at redline??

well i havent been to redline on my lx but i have went through the breakin progress and thought id see how it would be for passing and such. i have the automatic and when i floor it and it climbs to 6000 rpm, from 6000-6500 i think the engine is a little noisey, it seems to make a woowoowoo noise, then of course it shifts.

what is this noise?

is it normal??

thanks for any help!!

i have been trying the same thing last weekend. but could only reach 6k rpm on local. it was quite noisy, but i kinda like it. dont worry, it is the civic, which is supposed to be noisy even during low speed. wanna feel quiet, try the previous generation corolla.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

other than the lound engine after 6000 rpm (which is understandable) i love my civic to death. i look for reasons to go downtown just so i can drive it, I know its sad, but hey its fun to drive!!

i agree. i can {faintly} hear that 'sucking air sound' with the stock intake. but yeah, my car get's quite loud at higher revs.
