Can you hear the Mivec Switchover?
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.

I don't hear anything unless I am driving around a parking lot with the windows down. You can actually hear the valve lift change. My car has a pretty smooth powerband now, but it still picks up a little at around 4000 RPM or so.

If you see a evo 8 on a dyno you will see straight exhaust flow come out the exhaust, Then when you see a evo 9 on a dyno you see a straight flow of exhaust come out of the exhaust, then when it uses the mivec you see a poof of smoke come out of the exhaust stronger than the exhaust flow of the exhaust.

Isn't this the same crowd that gets upset when EVO owners rag on our cars? Seriously - show a little respect.
EDIT - Thanks, mod.
