I can tell by your reference to "the rear axle oil" that you are use to driving and working on rear wheel drive vehicles...The Fit has a transversely mounted engine and transmission differential unit, which is mounted side by side. Since you have experience with synthetic oil products. that is also what works best in the drive train unit as well..... Right now the Weapon*R intake products are said to be proving to be the most effective on the dyno at providing horsepower gains.....There are numerous performance exhaust products available, but a good muffler shop can duplicate the stock rear axle back pipe with or without the muffler of your choice, (none at all) tip and pipe diameter. There are no plug and play programmers that I am aware of at this time and to do a tuning set up is very costly, labour intensive, and not going to do a whole lot, unless you spring for a forced induction system and want to get the most out of it. ... Ultra light weight wheels and high performance tires are going to give the most bang for the buck by reducing rotational mass, and some will argue that even that doesn't work...Just read the columns on performance and be analytical before making choices..... Good Luck
hi there thanks for the reply .yeah as you you saying the front mounted transverse axle i realized there was no rear end lol.since the car is front wheel drive . So i guess there is no front gear box lololol. where can i find the weapon r intake ? no programmers damn ! id have to get a custom exaust done ?
It has a lot of videos/sound clips of different exhausts on fits already, so you can hear exactly how they sound and choose which one you want. I have heard good things about Skunk exhausts, but i don't know specifically about the 50 mm. Just check out the exhuast section on this site and there are tons of reviews, videos, etc. Good luck in choosing! There are a lot.
what about the weapon r intake ? im looking for proven results ? ill buy a 200 intake over a 300 dollar intake if it does better on the dyno .i dont care what i looks like .im not gonna be tracking the car lolol.im just looking to kick the cars hp up a little and get a little better fuel economy.i have my charger that i track lolololololl.
i personally like the fujita Cold Air... but if i had to redo my intake i would probably go with the Injen 2 piece Cold air intake IMO
Really?
I don't like the Injen one that much, is good for people with auto's but the routing is hooky and compared to a one piece the air gets uninterrupted much less with the Fujita.
I like the re-usable filter on the Fujita (with no lame oiling kit required) and it fits really well compared to a lot of products I have seen out there.

I have the Weapon-R one right now, it is a pretty good SRI. The filter is a really good design and it does the trick for performance.

I am going to have a shot at installing my most expensive modification very shortly.... I even got a T shirt, licence plate frame and stickers.... I hope that it meets my expectations and even more so my wife's.....It even came with it's own intake..... Anyone care to guess what it is?

You got it right.... I just found out that I have no electricity in my shop, I have to find the problem and fix my half assed wiring before I do anything.... Things are never as easy as they ought to be.

The LP frame gave it away, I remember seeing one with Illusives KWSC package
You picked up the base kit?
