Honda: Racing Success Through Durability

There's a reedy snarl characteristic of most Honda engines during full-throttle, high-rpm operation. It's a noise that results from a combination of the engine's valvetrain, intake system, exhaust manifold design and other factors. You'll hear it, if you listen closely, whether you're in an Accord V6 Coupe, a Civic Si, or maybe, something like a Formula F race-car, which runs a Honda Fit engine in the back.
