Stock it should kick at 5300 or 5500 and go until redline. 4500 is low unless it has a chipped ecu. And if you are completely stock no mod's you really won't feel it or hear hit. Put an intake on only and you will hear the change over.

its not very pronounced in sohc motors intakes offer the sound alot better than stock airboxes, but your more apt to feel it on a dohc vtec motor and yes it should kick in around 5200 or so
EDIT : meant vtec not ctec lol

Is there a way you could modify the ecu from 5500-5300 rpm vtec kick into lower rpm?

Yes you have to have your ecu chipped. Or find one that's chipped and make sure its a vtec ecu and unless your good with a soldering iron have it done by a professional and reputable shop
Its not about the name of the parts you use its the fact your making the attempt to make it your own
