it depends on the revs the v tec kicks in at 3800ish 4k rpms and makes the intake houl even more. its dependent on the revs....

i wonder if the V2 is louder than the standard 1...kuz i know the piping is different...n i also wonder if itll b louder after i install my tls tb into my tlp...mechanic said that since the tls tb is larger than the tlps...itll create velocity...n thats good according to him...so i wonder if the hissing sound will b more noticable...

Before i had my type-s throttle body, there was almost no hissing sound, but now that i have my type-s throttle body, people ask if i have a turbo

Yea V2 is louder than the standard one. Notice how the pipe connected to the air filter is a lot wider than the one to the TB. But yea, the V2 hisses a lot mostly right before VTEC engages.

Whistling probably indicates exhaust leakage. You may want to get it checked out. Hissing is a 'normal' sound for CAI's.
