Hi there. I am new to this forum and have just recently upgraded my 2013 Fit Sport with a 2016 Fit EXL. Looking to install a CAI and exhaust.

Woukd love to hear recommendations. Much appreciated!!!

 

Welcome my dude, congrats on the upgrade! I highly recommend doing a search or browsing the sub-forums. There’s a ton of builds, photos and reviews!

To get you started, the most common CAI/SRIs lately seem the be the AEM SRI. HKS and Takeda also have variants. The stock intake, although restrictive draws air from the front just behind the grill. Check out the Sumole-style ram scoop to maintain more of a stock look. There’s also people modding Weapon-R ‘rain-gutter’ style CAIs with fog-light funnels for both CAI and ram air. There’s lots of debate about intake air temps and what not but there’s a ton of info if you look around in here.

As for exhausts, there’s a few non-custom options. Axle back options that are common are the HKS hi-power, and similarity styled Spoon and J’s racing variants. The HKS is the most affordable from what I’ve found. HKS also makes the cool-style which is a dual Center exhaust model. I’m personally saving up to pick up a Tanabe Medallion Touring exhaust, which has a quieter note and dual pipes. Though hard to find there are some used Bisimoto helmholtz resonators around, and some other custom mods people have done.

For exhaust B-Pipes depending on where in the world you are, the two most common ones I’ve seen are the Spoon and the J’s Racing models. Both look awesome, but are way out of my budget living in NA.

For downpipes theres two common ones I see, the J’s racing down pipe (which I think is cat less), and the RV6 downpipe (which comes with or without a cat). I personally bought an RV6 unit when I got my car, back when COVID wasn’t a thing, and it’s sitting waiting for my warranty to expire so I can pop it in.

Hope this is a start, from one newbie to another, welcome again to the community! Have fun browsing

 

I have an AEM intake and I love it.

Hi bro, welcome to the community!!

Mods so far:
-Sumole air cooler
-Drop in k&n air filter
-RV6 catted header/collector
-2¼" "B" pipe (de moflera pa probar... si le gusta, la hago con curvas en "mandrel bend")
-Tanabe Medallion axle back
-CRZ BuddyClub short Shifter
-Acuity shifter cable bushings
-Acuity accel. pedal reloc. bracket
-KTuner V2

Ill tell you..

I searched and found a pretty big bunch of FITters who after installing different types of CAI's, a lot of them went back to stock, plus a K&N drop in filter.... and what I did was modify the stock airbox and make it a bit more ..... efficient you may say...

I covered up all sound deadening holes and passages it has and changed the oem elbow (the one between MAF and TB), since i also made a spacer to use a bigger TB 😈 and the other intake mod i made was changing the OEM rubber part of the ram air for the sumole air cooler......
