ummmm I would say use a cold air intake and then change some engine components to allow more air to breath

i-VTEC doesn't cross over like the old VTEC's in the B-series, especially in the K24, its very gradual in comparison.
And i-VTEC hits at 6000 rpm... redline is 7400rpm (in comparison... K20 in the teg redline's 8100), not much to play with... so even if you hear something it wont be much.

Stick a dynamite in ur exhaust and light it. cause i-VTEC is gradual, it aint designed to give you that BOOM

Do a b18c7 swap! Lol jokes..
Louder cross over doesn't necessarily mean a good thing for 1 my b16a crossover is loud as a mother ****er but thats Coz the b16 is such a nugget that by 5500rpm engine is running out of puff and then suddenly VTEC kicks in q boom comes the aggressive rush! A more finely tuned engine eg b18c7 or k series has a more subtle cross over.

My vtec is pretty loud but the joy is over in a second... it gets longer the higher gear your in vtec 4th gear goes for about 2 seconds but I don't recommend doing that of course

My JDM K20 was loud as too bit that is from a type r not a euro. You won't be able to get it loud as f*** but since you already have a pod the only thing you can do next is exhaust.

lolololol. I saw on the Aurion forum that they thought the Euro owners could smoke anyone, except for their V6 Toyotas and they imaged the look on our face of Toyotas beating us.

To make it more prominent, a CAI would help as the crossover is more distinct. With just a pod filter in the engine bay, it is always loud so you don't notice the crossover as much.
Also, the difference between low cam (<6000rpm) and high cam (>6000rpm) is pretty small when you look at the cam's regular and VTEC lobe profiles. So the crossover is already less distinct to begin with due to design and specification. This is a reason why the K20A's crossover is much more distinct than the K24A.

Lol win comment.
Anyways, why would you want a louder car?
If you do, change your pod so it sits outside the engine bay, cai or diy with few items from bunnings and super cheap auto.
Disconnect your cat back from the headers, saves you weight and more free flowing air.
Now should be a proud owner off a defect-able car, hey but wth you got loud as vtec right?
AND now you can own old ass camry's and look cool too.

I heard a weapon r header makes the cross over very noticeable. Should look into it.

Wider throttle body too anything that will slow more air to come in to the engine even a tune would help

drain oil, fill with sand and run for 5 minutes, will port out the head and vtec solinoid giving you a nice loud noise.

Lowering the VTEC crossover purely for noise value is a stupid idea. It's where it is for a reason. Unless you've modded the engine enough to require the crossover shifted (raised compression, head work, etc), you're just going to make your car slower.

Lower vtec engagement without other ECU map changes = loss of power.
If you do 4000-6000rpm with an SRI and full throttle, it sounds like VTEC anyway. It's because the low cam lobe is more aggressive than even the DC5R. Our high cam lobe is piss weak, but that is because the engine doesn't rev much higher after that anyway.

if you want a louder vtec crossover, get the same mods as this.
sounds legit.
