just curious, anyone have an gains mpg wise? i think i heard somewhere that CAI's can +mpg? i might just b insane
I havent heard about any mods, that give you MORE MPG. Anything you add to gain HP, I believe you lose MPG. I can be wrong. We dont messure out MPG with our products.
This is going to sound like a dumb question, but would it matter/is it possible if the CAI was installed on an AT. If so, what are the reasons why it can't be installed.

The automatic tranny stuff is in the way so there's no good place to route the piping for good cold air flow.
But if you get a good short ram intake setup you can still benefit from some power with an AT Fit.
EDIT: That's not a dumb question; there's no dumb questions. Otherwise how would we all learn new things? That's what forums, and the internet, and all sorts of Q&A resources are for.

All I know is it wont fit. The mounting positions are different to the M/T ones. I dont know really detailed reasons why it wont work.
Hi there,
I may just be looking in the wrong places, but do you have a Cold Air Intake like this that will work for the '09 Fit? It's fine if it's just for manual transmissions.
Thanks!
Installed my Aspec CAI last week - a positive review here. They were out of filters at the time I ordered, but that was no big deal, I got a discount which was enough to source my own K&N filter. Other than that, all hardware required was included, and installation was a no-brainer - no directions required and it only took about half an hour.
I can't say as I enjoy the intake sound of the L15 as much as I do on the H22, but like all intakes it's pretty much an audibly invisible mod at less than half throttle. Although for what it's worth, I do have a Beatrush underpanel, and that could effect the sound quality.
My only possible gripe was that the bends could stand to be cleaned up more on the interior of the tubing. The outside is pretty and smooth - but I'd like to see that on the inside as well to reduce turbulence. On an otherwise stock engine I highly doubt you'd see a significant amount of power from it . . . but every little bit counts. When I get a spare day, I plan on pulling the intake off and work on grinding down the welds inside - but some of them are pretty tough to get to.
Hope you like our product! As for the weld being shaved down, you can try it, but might weaken then weld and might have a chance to snap so I would be careful with it. Also the dyno we did on the intake, is pretty much the intake you got.
If you grind them down I wont think it will change anything: preformance-wise.
