why would the mods delete my post? I wasnt saying anything except you dont need audio or video because if you have a Ralliart you know what he is asking. Plus, its very unlikely you would hear it from audio or video but maybe Im wrong. I had nothing negative to say about anybody so maybe the mods should lighten up.

your post came off confrontational, I remember reading it this afternoon. Words sound different on the internet, where there is no room for inflection and lot's of room for interpretation.

i notice the change and i love it. if you dont floor it but you give it some real gas you can hear it "spool" up lol. everytime i go to shift after hearing it i almost do a blow off valve noise in my head LOL i could almost picture the car having one just becuase thats what the mivec reminds me of, a softer turbo sound. IMO

I was wondering if any of you actually hear the mivec switch-over at 3500rpm.
Is yours non-existent, suttle or obvious?
I was watching a clip on youtube and actually heard this guys ralliart mivec-switchover, was quite astonished to actually hear it as many of the ralliarts I don't hear it.

++++111....as a motter of fact..TRUE STORY! im on my way through the lobby of my campus today and i hear this kid asking someone if they had jumper cables soo i was like yeah i got some..i got out to his car and its a black civic, he pops the hood and guess what...i believe it was a 3.0 (?) vtec, and he kinda smiled almost like he was trying to say "yea its a vtec"..it was stock soo i laughed to myself and gave a lil grin due to the change of his facial expression as i poped my hodd and he saw my cai'ed mivec. he says to me, "whats mivec? is that like a wanna be vtec?" i looked at him and was like HOW DARE YOU! 
i was tempted to take back my cables and say jump it yourself but i helped him out and he ended up complementing the cleanliness of my engine and car
