PRM Intake *UPDATED*
So I just went up to PRM today and got the Intake installed looks good!!!
I love where the filter sits, it's a lot lower then the GD3's and looks very clean especially since it's all fabricated by Gerry himself.
My initial butt dyno says there's a bit of mid RPM torque, feels better going up hill so it's good stuff especially since the car lacks power
I won't know how accurate my butt dyno is so gotta wait for the dyno session next week so I'll keep everyone posted and I'll take some pics tmr when it's brighter outside
Alright Updated here's the Dyno chart
Here's the actual size

Here's a video at the Dyno
YouTube - 09 Fit Dyno.avi
Conclusion
6HP gain and 4Torque gain sounds aggressive and I would say definitely worth the investment getting 6% HP increase

i got on the prm website to take a look at this intake, and i think i'd rather wait for somthing a little better. it looks like someone took metal tubing and a vaccum hose and made a intake, i.e. it's wack!
You just described all Short Ram intakes, and most cold air intakes. Please wait for something better. You'll stay stock forever.

Alright here's some pics of the intake
There's a bolt for the bracket jsut I was in a rush so I didn't put it on
I think we should start a group buy I can talk to Gerry and see the price he can do for us

plus one on that!!!!
For California buyers-- unless some intake maker finally gets their product passed by CARB and gets the CARB Exempt sticker for you to display under your hood, you will have to replace the stock intake every time you go in for Smog Inspection. I bought one of the Group Buy original PRM intakes for my '07 Sport. Used it 3 weeks, then totaled it in a crash. It took 1 minute to get the PRM off at the wrecking yard, and throw the stock intake under the hood to satisfy my insurance company that all stock parts were on the car.
I sold the PRM to another fitfreak friend, and so have the money to buy the new version PRM intake.
Try taking off any chamber, most SRI's, or any cold air intake in one minute.

How is the sound / noise level on this intake? I'm looking for something quiet, that will add a few HP and improve fuel economy slightly.
I don't mind a little extra noise, but if it's loud, I'll pass.

It was not loud on my '07. A little quieter than the K&N SRI that the PRM replaced. But what is loud to you may be different from my perceptions. All after-market intakes will be a little noisier than stock.
