New to the fit world

Whats up everyone? I am brand new to the community of all the fit freaks out there and just want some opinions from those willing to chat. I got my fit in june of 2011 and wow I couldn't be happier with my decision. I was previously driving a 03 ford explorer til the tranny crapped out on me around 180k but hey it ran its course.

Anyway, I decided to go with something drastically smaller in size that still has tons of space inside...couldn't find anything better! So after driving it around for 8 months my love for it has been continually increasing and now it's time for some mods.

The first thing I did about a month into it was putting a new sound system in it because I love my music. Yesterday I was shopping around for exhaust systems and came across an apexi n1 evolution muffler for $150 with 20 bucks for shipping from apexiusa.com. IT ARRIVED TODAY!!!! So stoked! I plan on installing it in a day or so once I can get ahold of a jack stand.

Now here come my questions:

What do you guys think about trying to drill down a b pipe for it or going with custom piping? Pros cons of both?

Then of course I'd like to hear what others think about installing as my next mod for the future. What are some suggestions on some initial mods for our wonderful fits?

Welcome to the forum.

I say some better tires should be up on the mod list. This way you can truly enjoy the easy tossability and fun of the Fit.

Definitely getting new wheels. I was waiting for these ones to run their course and when I have to drop the money to replace them I was going to purchase the buddy club p1 (white with red lip). One of my favorite wheels.

Turbo dreams, what do you mean by drone? It definitely sounds much deeper and throat-ier but not extremely loud. Sounds really clean and shouldnt have a problem with the cops (hopefully)? Ican hear it when I drive in silence but as soon as I get my music up to a decent level the sound kinda disappears faintly
