HPS Short Ram Intake

Anyone have any experience with it? Anyone have any problems with, or how this intake design compares to the others like fujita. I have AT, so any little thing would help, that and the fact its 50% off their website, isnt bad either. Just wanted to get some opinions before buying.

HPS Shortram Air Intake Honda 07-08 Fit

I like the look of the Fujita intake better than the HPS, but the HPS site is offering 50% off any items, but it ends today so i guess ACT NOW! 50%%%%

You should search around for more info on short ram intake fitment issues in the AT. I know some people had problems with fitment.

Thanks alot for the reply guys, only thing I didnt like was how small the intake pipe is, seems the other intake designs like fujita would keep under the hood temperatures lower.

I've asked this before, but for the sake of another opinion does an SRI help MPG more than a CAI? Some opinions would seem to indicate so.

Why? Because HPS apparently doesn't make one for my soon-to-come GE!

Enjoy.

Some hyper miler forums suggest that heat actually improves mpg. Some of them even block the grill in the front.

It's on eBaY and the guys that sell it are quick to respond to questions. 45.00 and I got a second filter from another site for 12.00. I got kids and 3 mortgages so I really go with research & price and this was the best bang for da buck!
