they do not have i-vtec-e, they have plain old not really fancy "2lobe" i-vtec. there is no E, there is no exhaust vtec, there is no 5500rpm crossover, its JUST one intake valve goes from a small almost round cam to then run on the regular cam from the other intake valve at 2200rpm, thats it, nothing else.
