Edmunds wasn't able to get an improvement in their times with break torque. However, I'd love to drop in a high stall torque converter, trans cooler, and new differential (trans axle) gears for shiggles.

I also don't know if these kind of things can be done without killing the factory warranty.
OfI have a 2018 Honda Fit and I'm realizing you pretty much screwed if you want any kind of power out of the car they don't make anything for the vehicle and the vehicle struggles to get the f****** 90 can't even get to a decent cruising speed over 120 I find the car does nothing but I had to load wage and aggravate the hell out of u Honda needs to give more power in his cause it's pathetic how much horsepower they have

No kidding. Not to mention he bumped a thread that hasn't been touched in over 8 years just to post that nearly unintelligible rant. AND the OP, whom he was replying to, hasn't been active on the forum in 2 years.

Sigh.

I think he's saying that he did zero research and didn't take a test drive before buying, what is apparently, the wrong car for him.

Well, who doesn't!?! Unfortunately, the "get out of jail free" cards seem to only work in Monopoly.

Well it’s ten years worth of discussion, it must be authoritative now right??

Of course that also suggests it takes over ten years to add horsepower, so maybe not exactly “fast”.

Hi all,

I'm brand new here and haven't actually purchased a Fit yet, but I've really liked them since they came out in the mid-00's. I realize this thread is over 10 years old and hasn't been touched in almost a year.

I have read the full thread and I figure intake, exhaust and wheels/tires are the cheapest way to get a marginal amount of power. I understand this and it makes sense.

A question I thought of, would doing a dual exhaust (not just a deal exhaust tip) make an even bigger difference?

Thoughts?

I've attached a picture of the Fit that I am thinking of buying.

2010 Black Fit (Manual)
43k miles
$9,000
