noise isn't as noticeable on the new iVTEC's. try to feel it. I wish they would have made vtec more noticeable on the new cars. Love that sound.

personally, love the sound/feel of VTEC also. (yes i kno its not as sweet as turbo, but its SOMETHING for us poor n/a folk). the type s still pulls like a mofo when it kicks tho...

an VTEC controllers will still work.
