To my knowledge you can't hear the switch over on the new 4B11 DOHC Mivec either...

Mine always sounds thru the exhaust(weird) at 4100 rpm, but it does it sometimes and not in WOT...my friends tell me it always sounds but I cant hear it cuz of the intake. Its like a little pick up sound, like if I just accelerated a bit more

An on the new Lancers you actually hear the pick up of the car when the timing adjusts at wot on a lower gear, if u have an intake or no air filter

You can't hear MIVEC switch over because it doesn't. It's not like V-TEC. It doesn't change cam profiles. All MIVEC does is change the angle of the cam.

I deleted your previous post for a reason; because you're incorrect. It only changes the cam angle on the 4G63, but on the 4G69 is changes valve opening and duration, as well.
