Yes you can hear it. Well I can with my CAI. Its much louder when vtec kicks in.

For my 04' si, it kicks in around 3000 rpms. I feel hardly any difference.

i could hear my old d16y8 vtec so either your hard of hearing or the engine had no vtec

if you punch the throttle fast its hard to hear but if you accelerate slower you can hear the switchover
