I'm either looking at saving my money until I can justify the T1R or waiting until the T1R TURBO Kit - Honda Fit 07-up GD3 is available.
I would cancel it and either get the T1R or the FUJITA CAI. This was my first SRI as this is my first Automatic tranny (I'm getting too old and I was in aww of the paddle shifters).
Anyway my FIT runs a lot better with the stock airbox back on. If you are perfectionist like me you will be messing with that SRI forever. It just doesn't line up like other intakes or like the pictures.
Speaking of stock airbox has anyone used the Mugen or Spoon air filters?

Bryan, looks like we're neighbors.
Initially I got really excited about moding and getting more power...but common sense has so far prevailed and several folks have counseled me to not touch the car and just drive it. After seeing the kind of money people are shelling out for this little engine with little return in power (except for the up-coming turbo/supercharger kits), I've decided to hold off. Only thing I did was get a K&N drop-in filter. Not much difference at all...although I think you did a good thing by putting the stock air box back on...it has some special stuff going on with air chamber size and pressure equalization which really gives this engine a torquey low end (unusually good power at lower RPM for such a small engine). I've thought about the T1R, and I think this would give the same response or better but is too much $$ for what you get in my opinion.
