Disable Fake Engine Noise

[ABPDE5]

I've been watching how-tos on disabling the fake engine sound in the FL5 / Si, but there's nothing out there on the Integra.

I wouldn't expect much experience re: this mod at this point on the DE5's lifecycle, but I'm curious if anyone can comment on disabling this in the standard Integra (or the Type-S if you've already received yours and moved forward with this.

It will be the same as the FL5 . Fortunately all reviewers so far said it sounds good unlike the FL5. So maybe there is no need to remove it

Yeah, I figured the electronics are probably the exact same, just figured someone might have some insight as to whether or not there is much of a difference req. re: trim removal, etc.

I want to disable this. I found photos of the location on the Integra but didn't find anything on how to remove the trim around the glovebox to get to i

There is a thread on this and there is a video in there to do it on the Si; identical to the integra paneling inside

What's strange is I'm typically hyper critical of fake engine noise on vehicles but I can't for the life of me remember noticing it on the integra

In my limited time in an A Spec, I didn't notice it, but I also wasn't listening for it.

Apparently, in the Type-S, it is only active in Sport + at the upper end of the rev range. My understanding is also that, in Comfort, the same system is used for ANC.

I would guess the A Spec, etc. have a similar implementation.

It sounds good in my Integra Type S, but the problem is that I want to go with aftermarket speakers and the active noise cancellation/fake engine sounds are specifically tuned to the stock speakers. So I'm worried about any possible negative effects with the aftermarket speaker/amp combo.

Edit: I asked the dealer if they would be willing to remove it, and they said no. I wasn't surprised, but I figured that it couldn't hurt to ask.

Plenty of instructions in the civic forum. Drop glovebox and it's in the lower left panel

Never noticed the fake noise...
Do you have to be in Sport+ "all the way", or also in individual with the engine on Sport+?

I'm always in individual with the engine on Sport+ and never noticed it.

From the CTR forums, it seems to be very noticeable in the CTR.

After owning this car for 9 months now, I have never once noticed any fake engine noise.

 

[StingertimeNC]

same here. Are we sure we have it?

 

[SocalDE5]

My music is usually too loud to even hear emergency vehicle sirens (yes...that is not good)

I have not noticed anything.

I never noticed fake noise in the Integra. On my G80 M3, boy that is a different story!
