Help..

Ok, new 2010 sport 5spd. LOVE it. im getting little nick nacks like shift knob, floor mats etc, but i also want to get an exhaust. the car is very very quiet(which is a good thing). but i want it to be audible. im no ricer, i dont want a high pitched scream at 2k rpm. I would prefer a deep throaty sound, or at least as close as i can get. ive heard some different ones and I like the sound of the weapon r stuff. hks maybe? any other ideas?

also, i also am planning on getting new wheels. if i go 17x7.5, will 215/40/17 tires scrape? im really not a wheel expert, so i am looking for help on setting this up.

There are some great threads in the Fit shoes section that can help you. You need to be more concerned about offset as the Fit runs a very high offset. IMO 7.5 is pretty wide for a Fit as well as 215 tires but I think once you get some reading in you will make an educated decision.

you can try t1r exhaust/b-pipe

as for shoes, i'm runnin 17x7 with 215 wide tires. it really depends how low your car is. i don't have a problem at all on swift springs. but if you are planning to go pretty low, i don't recommend 7.5 wide rim.
