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.

Car has no sound deadening (As mentioned above). These are all normal road noises. Drive the car over gravel, you'll think the car is going to fall apart due to all the rocks being flicked up into the guards and underbody.

Its amazing how much noise a simple layer of tar cuts out.
