For exhaust I recommend the Tanabe Medallion Touring. Its very discreet, your average joe might not even notice it. Its quiet under normal acceleration. Deeper tone so even when you do get on it, its not outrageous. Gives the quiet Fit some nice tone.

Parts update!!!

Just pulled the trigger on:
Swift Sport Mach springs ( I guess I'm good with them for now with stock wheels)
Tanabe Touring Medallion exhaust (would have gone with HKS Silent HiPower but Touring gives it a more "OEM-upgrade" look with the oval can and double wall tip)
WORK Emotion XD-9 17x7 +47 MGS (hope this will turn out good)

Swift springs and Tanabe Touring is in stock and will ship with no delays.
WORK wheels will ship from Japan to WORK Wheels USA to my door steps... which would put me back 6-8 weeks

Quick shout out to Hugh @ evasive motorsports... thanx man

really looking forward to them...

I did have concerns when evasive put me up on +53 offset when spokes on wheels are flushed around 1.5" from the lip and sure enough just a few minutes ago I did get a call from them... +53 on the xd9 might have caliper issue. Now I'm back on +47 which was my first stab on it
