If your VTEC "hits harder", then you have a problem with your tune. It should be a smooth transition.

It depends on the engine and the modifications. A free flowing intake will make the transition seem louder and more pronounced on any VTEC engine. A free flowing exhaust will make a DOHC VTEC sound louder because they also have VTEC rockers for the exhaust lobes.

As I said before, the tune also affects the transition. Just because the crossover seems to make the car much faster, it doesn't mean the engine is tuned correctly.
