Default engine says vtec, but isnt?

k, i just went to the local import car shop looking for a muffler tip (which i know nothing about). the dude asks me, "is it v6?".
i say yeah.
so he says "ah, so you need two mufflers, eh?".
"no... i only need one."
"v6 has two mufflers."
"well, iono, go check out my car... i always thought it was vtec....)
"yeah, its 4 cyl."


And to think, i always thought my accord was v6 vtec... it says it on the engine

honestly you probably have the I8 and you need one tip and a new canuder valve with that. With that no doubt you'll run 12's.

95-97 V6 accord had one muffler... was a 2.7L NON-VTEC
98-02 V6 Accord had 2 mufflers... was a 3.0L VTEC

4cyl Accords had VTEC in EX models starting in 94, all had single mufflers
