Fair enough.

Overall speed wont change,

If you have a stock airbox take the top cover off and let the car warm up.

Once its completely warm go in 2nd gear and at roughly 6kish youll hear vtec kicking in (deeper sound).

If you can put your phone on the dash and close all the windows so we dont have air causing sound and record the sound.

Basically it will feel like it's actually worth revving all the way to redline, don't expect a kick at all, just a smooth transition. However in cold weather it's more noticable.
