Can anyone clue me in as to what makes this sound?? I installed the crower stg 2's and AEM CAI at the same time a while back.

Its gotta be either the AEM or the cams, but at like 6500rpm my car sounds like its hittin Vtec.

BTW.... I know there is no such thing as Ztec. but thats what me and a few of my friends started calling it when it would make this sound.

are you talking about the sweet sound of victory?

 

[Skinee J]

you mean that pissed off honduh with no exaust sound?

i have the aem cai and i hear that same sound. really raspy and annoying... but whatever, makes more power, who cares what it sounds like.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">yeah, i have the volant, and about the last 500 rpms before redline is so damn loud and almost annoying. it vibrates parts of my interior, but it sure gets looks!!

Hey Carlos you have the magnaflow now right?

I am pretty sure thats what it is...my car had a huge resonance 6500+ with the Cool-Flo intake. The sound would be so loud and just coming from everywhere and what was with stock header/cat.

I love that sound too, its the only time this car actually sounds cool. And you only hear it for a few seconds...oh well...its no VTEC...

 

[02SteedaFocus]

yea its defientally the CAI, and yes it sounds bad ass!

 

[Carizme]

Yeah I got the Magnaflow now, but the sound comes from the engine area.

 

[OmniFocus]

It is just some sort of resonance that becomes prominent right at that RPM.

 

[Trey]

it's the aem. mine did this.

 

[artin]

its the aem mine does it NOOOOOOO COMPLAINTS ABOUT THAT SOUND I LOVE IT!!!!!!

 

[JJ'sGreyS2]

My AEM CAI makes the same awesome noise. The first time I heard it I got chill bumps.

 

[mhernande]

Mine did the same sound until I put the Ranger Maf. Is the sound of the engine leaning at the top.

aww man when z-tec kicks in it sounds so DREAMMMY

 

[TooleBox]

i never knew ZeTec "kicked in"

isnt this a property unique to honda and their vtec?

please correct me if I am wrong... I never quite knew what "ZeTec" was... 2 years ago when i first bought the car, I THOUGHT it was fords version of vtec, but i was told shortly after buying the car it has nothing to do w/ the change-up like in vtec? What exactly is ZETEC?

any clarification will be more than welcome

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">These guys were just saying they could here a VTEC "like" phenomenon at a certain RPM... They weren't actually talking about a real Zetec "spot" or anything.

Zetec is just a name like Ecotec, Vortec, Power Tech, or Magnum. It isn't a mechanical cam changeover like VTEC or VVTLi

 

[Carizme]

There is no such thing. Its just my play on the word "Vtec"

Zetec is just the name of the engine. Zetec doesnt kick in, but with what has been said, with the AEM CAI it "sounds" just like when Vtec kicks in on Honduhs

EDIT: damn, Omni beat me to the punch
