The intake looks like it draws air from the rear of the engine bay, as opposed to an actual cold air intake. Paired with an axle-back exhaust, power gains will be minimal, but it will probably sound pretty cool.

 

I installed the AEM intake here on my 2019 CVT. With a 6MT, a Bismoto Exhaust would be be sporty... on the loud side, but in a well-tuned way...

BTW, none of that stuff will make the car faster...

 

 

i have that setup on my LX 6 speed along with the tanabe medallian exhast , works nice , doesn't trigger any warning lights , absolutely does give the car
a nice little bump in power , it likes cooler air though , i left the rubber intake hose on the car and extended it with another one just to bring some cooler air right up to the base
of the heat shield around the filter . the manufacturer claims 4 HP on the dyno , i figure with the exhast maybe 5 or 6 total ? on a 1.5 liter motor , that is noticeable . i may look
into , at some point , a larger b pipe , i think spoon makes one

 

Dude, no offense but the red H's on my car get like 3 HP each (front and rear)...

 

to answer the OP's question, you shouldnt throw any CEL

assuming you're hunting power (by virtue of buying an intake and exhaust) ... I'd like to chime in ... if I may:


"Honda Fit Enthusiasts Starter Kit":

-Ktuner - this really makes your mods (aem intake + hks exhaust) COME ALIVE
-Electronic Throttle Controller (Like Pedal Commander or similar device by another brand)
-Rear Motor Mount (Beat Rush or Hasport) or Pre Filled Oem Torque Rod with super hard urethane
-Front Lower Control Arm Brace (Like Megan Racing)
-Rear Sway Bar (Megan or Progress)
-Baffled Oil Catch Can (Any brand as long as it is Rick Approved)

 

Thanks for all the great advice.

 

does it pass inspection with all those red H's ?

 

Modding since more than 20 years ago, "cold air" intake does nothing but give you sound to make you think you are going faster. In most cases, you actually gather and retain more hot air while in street driving conditions due to the aluminum tubing that can singe your skin off on a very hot summer day. The OEM intake system is a cold air intake system, most aftermarket ones that do not have an enclosed air box is a hot air intake system. The only intake air system worthy of mentioning was the one made by Comptech on my ancient 98 V6 Accord which had an enclosed air box with plastic tubing and a silicone coupler to the throttle body, much like the OEM setup.

 

I say skip the aem and do as this guy did

 

There is always the dryer hose mod. Just remove the OEM resonator and snorkel that goes up to the grill. Then take a dryer hose and lead it to the bottom of the OEM air box.
