It's not very loud, you need to tell us what mods your car has
its got a mugen CAI and exhaust system with headers, thats all i know because i bought the car already modded, heres a pic of the engine:

Sounds fine. Can you just learn to live with it? As was said B18~ VTEC isn't as loud as B16A VTEC, probably because it produces more torque/better torque curve. A huge VTEC crossover isn't necessarily a good thing.
whats the difference between b18 and b16? and how do you knw which one you have?
B18 is a 1.8 litre, B16 is a 1.6 litre. As said above you wont usually hear the VTEC crossover as much in a B18 as you will in a B16 depending on modifications due the B18 having more power down low and therefore it has a more linear power band (which basically means when you look at it on a graph the power rises more evenly in a curve), where as the B16 has less power down low and so when VTEC kicks in it there is a large jump in it's power band and so it sounds louder.
There will be an stamped letter and number on your engine block that will tell you which motor you have.
THJAT IS NOT NORMAL , CHECK UR OIL LEVEL AND UR VTEC SOLINOID .. trust me ive been in many b18 type rs and does not sounds like that .. i cant even hear any vtec kick in. with mugen cai and exhaust u will hear vtec mate..
you might need to adjust ignition timing (distributor angle) and do an ecu reset for the ecu to find the best settings and adapt to the new induction and exhaust system.
to reset the ECU:

to adjust timing:

if you're unsure of how to adjust the timing, speak to your honda mechanic as you don't want it to result in excessive knocking/pinging which can destroy your pistons and valves etc.
sorry im really noob with engines and stuff, where do i check the oil in the engine?
lol are u serioues bro..Quote:

Google it.
