Hey everyone, any thoughts on a quality exhaust for the 18 Fit Sport? My understanding is the HKS High Power Silent doesn’t work with the CVT? I can’t believe that really matters.

Thanks.

 

I'll go ahead and quote myself from THIS THREAD -> https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/3rd-...-18-sport.html

 

3 threads for exhausts? cmon man ....

 

Dude, nice Sport. WHERE DID YOU GET THE RED H EMBLEM FOR YOUR GRILL????

 

 

 

Do you have Honda Sensing ?

 

No, I don’t. Sorry for the late response

 

i have a hks exhaust on my Honda Fit ex 2018 and it’s a cvt trans.

 

Nice. How do you like it? My understanding is because of the under spoiler that the HKS may not fit well unfortunately. I bought it in hopes that it will fit if not I will return.

 

I’m not sure if it’s for every thread but when I installed the exhaust it burnt my rear bumper because it was too close to it, an you have a different bumper with diffuser but what I did to mine I put a strap to make it lower and not too close to my rear bumper I had some pics but I lost it

 

Finally got the HKS HIGH POWER installed. Had it done at Meineke for $80. Very happy with it.

 

Wow u have actually same color and even the badge as my 18 sport ! My one is MT though. Looks good . Is ur exhaust catback or axle back?

 

Thanks man, it’s an axle back. I also have a AEM intake which makes the car run better. I love the orange it’s an awesome color

 

Yeah I agree hahha does axle back exhaust help with performance in some way? I heard only catback helps

 

I don’t think there is any HP gain for the axle back at least not for the exhaust I have.

 

Where did you hear this info from?

Why do you think there isn't any HP gain for the axle back?

Just asking guys! Not saying I know either way.

 

i am not a mechanic nor has a lot of knowledge , but i will try my best to explain;

for performance gain, u need the engine to breath in and out better (breath in; forced induction breath out; exhaust)

however, by changing axle back, you are not making engine breath out better, hence not much performance increase.

in order to allow engine to breath out better, you need to go for catback system because it can actually allow engine to exhale more air out.

i know my explanation is pretty ugly, so i will leave link that does it better

 

Nah, your explanation was good. Thanks for taking the time to explain it to me. I appreciate it man.

 

You sir have a really nice car!!
