there is ur answer u have a b16a, its good engine but i wouldnt say it was a stock beast, vtec isnt suppose to scream, however in some cars it does because of other modifcations, as for lowering when vtec engages i wouldnt recommend it, honda set it at that rpm for a reason in stock engine... leave it there till u have some things done to ur car and have someone do it for u or atleast least more about it... there is no reason to lower or to even set it to go higher rpms just in case ur thinking that till u have some work done to it....
i will say though my type r engines were loud when vtec engages... of coruse u are talking about a type r...
