Looks like a good-fitting intake!

NExt question is if 5 hp is worth the cost? You can barely feel 5 hp.

ya but intake, exhaust, pulleys, header... all little things but it adds up. alone it's not too noticeable but after a couple you get more... plus to get the full effect of an intake, you need an exhaust

I thought the prm gained 7 hp with 0 tq? I remember that there was an argument about it, was it ever resolved?

Nope. They admitted that it will not give you any torque. And all the power came from 5500rpm and up so you wont see a thing if your not racing your car.

And you will not feel 4hp. But it will let the engine breath better and give you better throttle response and fuel economy. Plus it gives it a nice throaty sound. Most people arent building their Fit to be high hp monsters, but this intake will definately make it more enjoyable and easy to drive.

fit4afit, your car is an automatic right or at least the car in the pics of the intake is. That explains the numbers. Thanks for posting the dyno.

I love how it has gains ALL across the rpm range and not just the upper rpm's.

Please post msrp and release date when info becomes available, this system looks promising!

one thing, is the filter a dry flow element or is it oiled? Just thinking about the MAF.
