My question is how much interior resonance that pipe size transition would produce bolted to an OEM midpipe. Going to 2.5"OD is a big change, and with the power output of both NA and boosted L15A1s I just wonder why it isn't 2"OD or 2.25"OD.
For reference, pipe interior cross sections, assuming 1/16" wall thickness:
OEM midpipe, 1.7"OD, 1.97 square inches (measured via circumference, 5 3/8")
h-fit axleback, 2.5"OD, 4.43 square inches
percent change: 225% of OEM, or 125% more than OEM

Hi Polaski. You are correct. The H-Fit Type M Exhaust is actually a 2.25" (2 1/4") exhaust and NOT 2.5". This was a typo. The 2.25" is the largest we would go with a NA Fit. The exhaust note is quite nice and not loud inside. We will have sounds clips soon.

I was reading through this thread again and noticed :
"Over the last year, we had developed several rear diffusers that mounted close to the exhaust. With the position of the hangers, we were able to have better clearance for our diffuser and allowed more room to work with. We kept the hanger design as you see!"
Can we expect to see a rear diffuser come out from H-Fit? Interesting or am I reading too much into this?

Hi Koi. We've tried a couple of different rear diffusers for the Fit. Our most aggressive design that required removing a large section of the rear bumper did not produce a noticeable increase in performance. While track testing it, we still felt a slight oversteer during some of the turns. But, we may have been driving too fast OR driving too slow. We may revisit this in the future, but there is no current plans to manufacture a rear diffuser.
Thanks everyone for following this thread. We do plan on developing an exhaust for the GE8 in the future, but there is no current developments. If you have questions on the H-Fit Type M Exhaust feel free to PM us or email us.
Thanks
