I've been saying this for over a year now. That stock exhaust is not straight through. You can't even see straight through it. I took pics and posted previously. There's no way you are not going to get at least a little power increase from going with a straight through design. Especially if the metal in the straight through pipe does not interrupt the exhaust flow.

Yes, it's wayyy more efficient for the engine to breathe out. I just need a cold air intake to maximize the efficiency, breathe in and out as efficiently as possible. With the stock exhaust, under heavy engine load, I felt that the car was really straining, but with the HKS the engine enjoys being pushed to any rpm.

What do you all think of HKS Hi-Power Spec-L Exhaust? I know it's a bit out of the price range...

I don't think that's going to fit the GK, it says it's for the GE. Even on HKS site:http://www.hksusa.com/32016-ah029-hi-power-spec-l-exhaust/

Aww. I didn't check that far. Just saw it when I searched for 2015 Honda Fit so I assumed. Thanks for pointing that out!

The Spec-L is really nice, but not sure how that set up would be compatible with the GK5. I think just a single straight through pipe is the best in regard to efficiency. But if your going for aesthetics the Spec-L is the way I'd go. It'd be more efficient than the Cool Style I think.

Go for yonaka it's $259shipped!

Perfect!!! Well done, will surely never be disappointed with the quality of that exhaust. It's top notch quality in materials and sound, completely unique and sets you in a class of your own from the fart cannons and moron obnoxious blaring American muscle cars. It is a proper, reserved Japanese sports car, like the design behind the new NSX, not trying to prove anything, holds it's own, doesn't follow others, just pure sound and excellent quality that stands the test of time.

Thanks! I actually enjoy my commutes now haha.

Now I'm considering lowering the springs. THMotorsports has TEIN springs on sale for $176.61 marked down from $315. The description says it lowers the car by 1.6 inches though so I'm not sure if that'll be too much. I think the fit will look great though, lowered and with the HKS exhaust.

Yeah, I've been looking into lowering springs as well. The Tanabe springs lower the car just slightly, the Eibach's lower about 1.6 inches like the Tein's, but have a 1 million mile warranty, I'd rather go with the Eibach's for the same result as Tein's, a little more expensive though, ur call on that.
Also, the car would look excellent on 16inch Eibach RPF-1's as well, was thinking of going with a wheel/tire package from Tirerack, moving out of the junk OEM tires and throw some durable Michelin Premiers with the Eibach's wheels, would be perfect, and would make the tires flush with the fenders without spacers. I think I'd rather get the wheels/tires done first before lowerig springs and I'm at 37k miles on the car, not much tread on the stock tires... Not sure what to do.
