Everything except engine components, yes. IE if you wanna buy a tite azz body kit, one designed for an EX will fit just fine.

 

whats are the main differences between the hx and ex? gear ratios, different air/fuel mix? I always thought they were the same except for the tranny and ecu program but not any real mechanical differences.

This pretty much explains it all

 

HX - 115 HP SOHC VTEC-E motor
EX - 125 HP SOHC VTEC Engine

They share absolutely no internal components. The heads, blocks, transmissions, manifolds, ECU's are all different.

As far as standard features are concerned...the EX has a sunroof, and bigger brakes than the HX. The HX however has those m4dd tyte wheels y0 (Which will not fit on an EX BTW because the brakes are too big).

 

when i go to buy a short ram intake do i buy the kind for a EX? cause if not where do i buy one that is made for a HX?

Yes.

 

You can buy pretty much anything that will fit an Ex for your Hx,,,,Cam Gear Pulleys Intake,,,,The Manifold is different and the header needs to be installed with separate Cat. I had a Kamikaze header on my 1998 honda civic Hx

 

I stand corrected!! o well ive only had my civic for about 3 weeks im still in b-series mode from my teggy r.i.p.
