Nope, you've got no v-tec there... just plain old raw engine! What exhaust do you have on there?

I wouldn't worry that you don't have Vtec. Accords are reliable and powerful. If you want to pimp your ride up there are a number of knowledgeable people on here that can help you.

I got a megan racing N-1 style muffler (love the look and sound) and had a muffler shop do custom piping from the cat-back

If by power you mean horsepower, then you are potentially correct. But the H22 makes better torque than the F20B, which is what a heavier car (like an Accord) needs to get going.
