Successfully installed intake on '12 Fit Sport A/T

Has anyone successfully installed and aftermarket intake on their honda fit sport A/T? I am wanting to get one for my wife because this car is slow and really seems to lag. Just wanted to add a tiny bit and don't really care how much it costs. I noticed a post about a bunch of different intake options, but I couldn't verify that they would work on the '12 A/T.

Can anyone help? Model numbers, prices, where to buy would all be greatly appreciated. Pics of installed units would be great.

Opinions on the intakes...power, feel, throttle response...

I don't expect much because it is a tiny engine but I would like to know the options. I really like the carbon box ones. It's very similar to the APR unit that I have on my MK6 GLI.

Thanks.

You wont get much from an intake alone and I'd save my money for a real power booster. You will likely get more noise than anything and be about $300 further away from a supercharger or swap. Just my personal opinion.

Same here. Noticeably louder (throaty) at high RPMs. Not sure if there's any power gain or if it's just the sound that makes me think there's a power gain; throttle response is definitely slower.

Based on what I researched before and after installing the CAI, the power gain (if it at all), is extremely minimal.

I had an Injen. The first 3 days you're like HOLY FIT! Then the ECU dials back those gains and you actually get less power on the low end.

But...if you do go w/ Injen I'll sell you my mint condition Hydrosheild filter cover
