EX Intake on LX? will it work? Si Strut bar on LX? will it work

Hey everyone, i was just wondering if a Cusco strut bar used in a 2002 Civic Si, will fit in my 2001 Civic LX?
Also, Will an EX intake fit on my LX? i heard it will but it will dangle, its for cheap so i just need to know if it will fit.

Lastly, will BOTH of the parts fit, I heard in the 7th gen's u cant use intakes/struts together because theres no room, Any1 here make it work?

Thanks

some companies have a different design for the lx and ex intakes.

the bar may fit.

front chassis, or at least.. internal are fairly similiar..

the intake will fit for sure. length between the DX/LX version and the EX one is different though. AEM supposely tuned the DX/LX version more.. its longer and has a curve to it.. they probably wanted to tap the different powerband.. but eh, its a filter on a stick, probably not a big difference

I think the place where the bracket attaches to is different between a EX and DX/LX. so it would be dangling around.
