And would my intake and exhaust still be compatiable with the new head or no?

Ohh ok. I thought i would just be able to get the vtec head, i didnt know that i needed the IM and ECU. Will the SRI and cat-back exhaust that is on my engine now, fit with the EX head?

the EX head is vtec. you will need a new ECU and you will have to do a lot of work to get the vtec working. im pretty sure both the SRI and the exhaust will work, but im not 100% positive on the SRI (someone with a 7th gen EX, are the TBs top mounted or side mounted? i know they are on the LX)

I honestly could not answer every question you have, I am not a fan of 7th gen civic's at all so I have never took the time to learn anything about them.
