Does DC5 R is a noisy bugger?

[45SET]

one thing that has bugged me for long...

Does everyone's else DC5R has noisy engine? i find that my engine is noisy.
it is sort of 'raspy' noise with ticking noise too (could be the injector/ valve tick, i am not sure).

Is it normal? also It makes faint whining/ whistling sound when accelereating, sound like Supercharger spooling (which is cool)...

I got "Intake (with bigger plenum box)-Race Header-Exhaust", as well as BLOX air filter setup.

is it normal? well everything operates normal, with VTEC engage very strongly, and put smile on my face

The bolded part is the reason your car is noisy.

Thought that would have been fairly obvious.
